Dalen Dental Clinic Confirmed as HIPAA Compliant
Dalen Dental Clinic in Whitefish, MT, has been confirmed as achieving compliance with the Privacy, Security, Breach Notification, and Omnibus Rules of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the standards of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.
Dental practices that conduct transactions electronically are classed as HIPAA-covered entities and are required to be compliant with the HIPAA Rules. Achieving and ensuring continued compliance can be a challenge, which is why many practices seek assistance from third-party firms. Dalen Dental Clinic chose Compliancy Group and used its HIPAA methodology, which includes a Six Stage Implementation Program, and the use of a HIPAA-compliance tracking software solution called The Guard.
“We as a private practice chose Compliancy Group and The Guard to take us through HIPAA compliance because it was recommended and it has benefited our office by keeping all of our staff aware of how secure things need to be, being HIPAA compliant is a priority of ours, we as an office strive to keep our patients and their health history safe and secure,” said Dr. Jeff Dalen.
After completing the program, which includes a comprehensive risk analysis and remediation process, Dalen Dental Clinic was assessed by Compliancy Group’s HIPAA subject matter experts, who confirmed that the practice was fully compliant with the HIPAA Rules and awarded the practice the HIPAA Seal of Compliance.
