Brainlink's Hipaa Expertise
Brainlink's history of working with medical information and the healthcare industry
gives us a unique and extensive understanding of complying with HIPAA and the wide range of self-regulatory guidelines in use in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and Internet industries.
The four major building blocks of a HIPAA-compliant, security-conscious environment:
1.Technical security ensures the integrity of all applications, databases and infrastructure. This includes hardware, software and network security.
2.Process Security protects the continuity and integrity of information as it moves through your organization.
3.Operations Security focuses on the safety of backups and recovery while also looking at how information feeds to and from your business partners and other third party sources.
4.Administrative Security centres on the development of your organization's security policies and objectives as well as the procedures for handling them. This includes such key issues as Chain of Trust development, disaster recovery planning, compliance officer selection and other security-focused business decisions.
Brainlink sees HIPAA as an excellent opportunity to build a robust security architecture that benefits not just the healthcare industry, but anyone interested in a complete and comprehensive security environment. HIPAA may seem restrictive, but is really just good business sense, even without considering the stiff penalties for non-compliance.
Brainlink's HIPAA compliance services are always customized to meet the client's needs, and include:
Gap Assessment - In the gap assessment process Brainlink looks at all aspects of your operation, including technology, policies, procedures and practices, to ascertain where your company deviates from HIPAA compliance.
Risk Assessment - Working from the gap assessment document, Brainlink then examines and weighs the risks these gaps pose. Some HIPAA violations can carry higher penalties than others. Additionally some HIPAA violations put you at a much greater risk for lawsuits than others. From this assessment, we're able to generate a remediation plan, which proposes solutions to your HIPAA problems designed to close your most serious gaps first, allowing your company to spend its limited HIPAA dollars in the most effective way possible.
Remediation - During the remediation process, Brainlink will help you improve your current technologies and, in some cases, install new ones. Additionally, we will work with your staff to make sure your policies, practices and procedures are all in alignment with each other and the HIPAA regulations.
Education - Education is critical to HIPAA compliance. Through its pyramidal learning approach, Brainlink helps your key staff develop the HIPAA training program that will be most effective within your organization while also providing high-level, detailed one-on-one training to those staff members with direct responsibility under HIPAA, such as your chief privacy officer (a HIPAA requirement), technology, legal, public affairs, and public and consumer relations staff.
