Get Business Associates (BA) HIPAA HITECH compliant for $100

Here at Compliance Helper we have been pondering the huge problem of getting thousands of small CEs and BAs compliant.  We realized that it was difficult because of the cost factor and the time factor.  Time and money are in short supply in these accounts.

The solution was in sharing.  If CEs and BAs shared a common business model they could share a privacy and information security program.  Build it once and share it with hundreds of others.  The internet and the methodology already developed, teste, and proven by Compliance Helper supports this model.  What is vitally important is the ability to support a maintenance program that keeps them uptodate and at the same time measures their performance.  These performance metrics allow their partners to get "satisfactory assurance" that they are compliant on an ongoing basis

Here is how it works.  A Master User develops the privacy and information security program using the Prepare Plus service which includes the support of a privacy and security expert called a Helper.  Once developed the Master User moves to maintenance mode.  At this point members who share a common business model with the Master User can join the Co-OP for $100 and share the privacy and information security program. 

For $25 per month they share the Care maintenance program which keeps them uptodate and also gives them a month task list.  Their maintenance performance is measured and they are given a monthly score which tells everyone that they are compliant.  The Master User has access to the Helper for advice and oversight which they share with the CO-OP members.

A monthly CO-OP webinar allows the members to interact with Compliance Helper staff for training and advice.

Get compliant for $100, stay compliant and prove it with the Compliance Meter for $25 per month
