Initial HIPAA Compliance in as few as 48 Hours with HIPAAssure®

Initial HIPAA compliance requires that you have done a risk assessment, edited policies and procedures, done a follow up risk assessment and scheduled your security awareness training. For a small practice or business associate this can be accomplished in as few as 48 hours using SaaS tools developed by Compliance Helper and ACR2 Solutions. Our clients have never failed an audit!

Here is the process:

1.Fill out a simple survey about your business

2.Review a set of NIST security controls to verify that they don’t apply to your business

3.Get an automated on-line risk assessment based on the NIST protocol

4.Edit the highest priority policies and procedures with the support of a Helper

5.Get a second automated risk assessment showing your progress

6.Schedule your on-line security and awareness training

7.Display your Compliance Meter® showing your Initial HIPAA Compliance

8.Continue the HIPAA Compliance Cycle:

There are several key factors in achieving and maintaining HIPAA compliance. First, the recognition and acceptance that it is a process not an event. Secondly, documentation is critical because HHS says if you didn’t document it you didn’t do it. Finally, SaaS tools are the critical factor in having a cost effective and efficient process. A good analogy would be the comparison between using Turbo Tax for your personal income tax versus doing it by hand with only the IRS documents.

The Cycle of Compliance creates a legal firewall around your company to protect you from harsh penalties. Our clients have never failed an HHS/OCR audit. Assure compliance with HIPAAssure®
