HIPAA Compliance Reports

Get expert guidance in developing your HIPAA attestation statement to provide third-party assurance and demonstrate your commitment to protecting patient data. By evaluating overall HIPAA compliance, this comprehensive attestation offers a higher level of assurance than an agreed-upon procedure review.

An effective HIPAA compliance program is essential for covered entities and their business associates to protect personal data, reduce risk, and meet regulatory and patient expectations.

HIPAA Security and Privacy Compliance

With provisions extending beyond medical facilities, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires any organization that processes Protected Health Information (PHI) to demonstrate compliance with HIPAA security and privacy safeguards, as well as the related HITECH breach notification requirements.

Enacted in 1996 and amended several times since, various aspects of HIPAA’s regulatory framework are overseen by federal agencies including the Office for Civil Rights within the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general, and the Department of Justice.

With this degree of regulatory oversight, understanding HIPAA’s complex requirements and ensuring compliance are essential.

A HIPAA attestation, required for covered entities and their business associates, provides third–party assurance your organization is meeting its regulatory obligations and has implemented policies and procedures to protect PHI from unauthorized access or disclosure.
