Business Associates: HIPAA Compliance in 72 Hours

Initial HIPAA compliance in 72 hours for business associates.
As a business associate HIPAA compliance is a relatively new requirement. The Omnibus Rule didn’t go into effect until September of 2013 and enforcement has been relatively lax, until now.
HHS is starting unannounced audits which will include business associates for the first time. Your chances of being selected for an audit by HHS are slim but this is causing your clients and business partners to get serious about making sure that you are compliant.
The gold standard for HIPAA compliance is an up to date risk assessment. The industry standard for a HIPAA risk assessment is the NIST protocol. While there is no certification process for business associates that has been approved by HHS the combination of an updated risk assessment, documented training, and up-to-date policies has been proven to be “audit-proof”.
Every single client of ours who has been audited has passed.
Here is how we do this in under 72 hours with prices starting at $249. Obviously we automate the process but as I have always said “Automating a bad process just expedites failure”. The NIST protocol is a lengthy process but our data analytics have discovered a shortcut. Up to 40% of the requirements may not apply to you. By inactivating these at the beginning of the process we not only shorten the total process but we Jumpstart you into compliance. The main thing HHS wants to see is that you have a plan, you are making progress and you are documenting your activities.
So, you get credit for the inactivated policies, do an initial risk assessment, edit some policies to show progress, schedule your staff training, do an updated risk assessment and you have achieved initial HIPAA compliance!
To maintain it and prove it you need to continue to update policies, document staff training, and do a quarterly risk assessment, all of which is included in the Jumpstart program.
