Get your HIPAA compliance right in six simple steps

The most important element that Covered Entities and Business Associates must keep in mind while carrying out HIPAA audits is best summarized in the words of Jocelyn Samuels, the top Federal official in charge of HIPAA enforcement. To quote her own words, Covered Entities and Business Associates must ensure compliance through “... a comprehensive and thorough approach to assessing and addressing the risks to all of the Protected Health Information (PHI) they maintain”.

Although Risk Analysis is mandatory; HIPAA audits of 2012 showed that as many as four fifths of health care providers failed to comply with this mandatory requirement. Covered Entities and Business Associates are under severe pressure to do a HIPAA Risk Analysis of all the PHI’s they maintain. Most of this, they are expected to do on their own. This explains perhaps just why 80% of health care providers failed to do the Risk Analysis, a fact discovered by the HHS. In fact, the incidence of HIPAA violations has been increasing so steeply that 2015 was sardonically referred to in HIPAA circles as the “Year of the Breach”. This fact leads to the next important point: higher and greater number of government enforcement and private lawsuits.
