Two hallmarks of being in compliance with HIPAA are:
- Ensuring that the healthcare practice provides the appropriate patient rights and controls on the patient’s uses and disclosures of Protected Health Information
- Having the proper policies and procedures in place.
So, it follows that showing to the government that it not only has the ability to demonstrate how it is addressing all of the required security safeguards; but that it also has the documentation necessary for safeguarding patient PHI is required from any organization that is being audited or is the subject of a compliance review.
Grasp of the fundamentals is important and necessary
A healthcare practice, business or organization needs to have a sound understanding of HIPAA compliance requirements needed for protecting PHI. Full and comprehensive grasp of the fundamentals of HIPAA compliance requirements is necessary for an entity to ensure that whatever safeguards it has put in place can withstand government scrutiny.
This knowledge is needed to implement the provisions of HIPAA. This apart, another important reason for which healthcare practices, businesses or organizations have to develop the right knowledge of the HIPAA requirements is to avoid data breaches. The appreciable rise in the number of recent HIPAA data breaches necessitates a proper understanding of HIPAA compliance requirements, which will help entities understand which of the requirements of HIPAA they need to meet if they have to safeguard PHI.
