The Department of Health and Human Services requires organizations handling all PHI (Protected Health Information), whether it’s electronic or paper-based, to conduct a HIPAA Security Risk Analysis annually to achieve HIPAA Compliance.
Being HIPAA compliant means your organization has the tools and knowledge to conduct an effective EPHI Risk Assessment
The key to an effective HIPAA Risk Analysis is the ability to assess and document weaknesses or risks related to the integrity, availability and confidentiality of patients’ EPHI and establish a dynamic Risk Management process to identify risk shortcomings and create measures for managing risk.
A HIPAA Security Risk Analysis should include a thorough assessment of your current risk level and yield an understandable report of results AS WELL AS steps needed to reduce and manage exposure.
