HIPAA compliance

If you are not 100% sure of what HIPAA compliance truly is and how it affects your practice don’t worry, most healthcare providers don’t! In fact healthcare entities don’t fully understand that EHRs are just one piece of the vast HIPAA compliance puzzle. With so many changes in just the past year alone, buzz words like Omnibus Rule, Privacy Rule, Security Rule and Willful Neglect keep surfacing in just about every medical journal you read. But in reality who has time for all these regulations and policies and implementing them in writing? Let SMB Technologies do all the heavy lifting for you and get your practice HIPAA Compliant today!

Don’t take chances with serious penalties and make sure your IT vendor can provide sufficient details as to how they protect patient data and protect against a HIPAA violation. At SMB Technologies HIPAA compliance is the cornerstone to our success and your protection. Contact us today to get a free no hassle audit on everything from software, hardware, and security.

The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides federal protections for individually identifiable health information held by covered entities and their business associates and gives patients an array of rights with respect to that information. At the same time, the Privacy Rule is balanced so that it permits the disclosure of health information needed for patient care and other important purposes. 

The Security Rule specifies a series of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for covered entities and their business associates to use to assure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information.
