Healthy IT Achieves HIPAA Compliance with Compliancy Group
Healthy IT, a provider of specialized IT support and services to organizations in the healthcare industry in the Long Island and New York Tri-State area, has recently been confirmed as compliant with the Privacy, Security, Breach Notification, and Omnibus Rules of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the HITECH Act.
Since 1996, when HIPAA was signed into law, Healthy IT has been providing healthcare and dental professionals with specialized IT support and services to help them meet the needs of patients, improve patient outcomes, and lower costs. “Having team members who came from clinical fields prior to working in the technology industry gives Healthy IT a holistic view of what technology should be in a healthcare practice,” explained Healthy IT. “Through this unique experience, Healthy IT has superior knowledge and familiarity with the unique software, hardware, and business processes needed to help healthcare practices operate effectively.”
Providing those services requires access to systems containing protected health information, which means Healthy IT is classed as a business associate and is required to comply with certain provisions of the HIPAA Rules. Achieving and ensuring compliance with the HIPAA Rules is vital for business associates, many of whom seek assistance from third-party vendors such as Compliancy Group, to ensure no aspect of compliance has been overlooked.
Healthy IT sought validation of its compliance efforts from Compliancy Group and followed its proven HIPAA compliance methodology to ensure ongoing compliance. This was achieved by using Compliancy Group’s HIPAA compliance software solution, The Guard.
