IT support for HIPAA and HITECH compliance
HIPAA sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient data. Any organization that handles protected health information must implement and follow physical, network and procedural safeguards.
What HIPAA and HITECH require
The HITECH Act supports HIPAA by raising penalties for health organizations that violate the Privacy and Security Rules. It was enacted as health technology and the electronic storage, use and transmission of health information grew.
Because your computer network plays a major role in daily operations, trusted IT advisors can help keep it aligned with HIPAA/HITECH requirements.
