HIPAA Security Rule requirements are being enforced with more regularity and the fines have been raised to a whole new level.   Non-Compliance can translate into hefty fees, litigation, and required 3^rd party consulting.  Many health care organizations rely on manual processes that are often times disjointed ,incomplete and fail to meet regulatory requirements.

Implementation and utilization of proper administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and the demonstration of these is key to establishing and maintaining compliancy.    Many healthcare providers and their business associates continue to manually manage multiple, independent processes, including the revision, distribution and acknowledgment of policies and procedures.  The HiTech act mandates manually  remediating  gaps in compliancy, assessing risks related to breaches and required notifications, as well as preparing for the new proactive audits.   Staff can spend enormous effort to address all the requirements,  remediate gaps, and produce the documentation necessary to adherence.  Automation of these tasks, professional assistance, and  management tools  can save large amounts of time and resources while  avoiding  the  increased risk of privacy breaches, sanctions and fines.
