HIPAA Compliance Expertise and Consulting
Healthcare practices bear the heavy burden of caring for their patients’ health and wellness concerns. However, a critical part of proper patient care includes ensuring the confidentiality of their electronic medical records. Could outsourced IT support help you meet and sustain the mandates outlined by HIPAA?
Trying to keep pace with HIPAA compliance expectations in-house is more than most healthcare practices can manage. Many medical professionals think they will never face an HHS HIPAA audit. However, the truth is that violations and audits occur more often than most people would think. When a company is responsible for failure to heed this code, expensive penalties are levied against them, which can range from as little as $100 to $50,000 per violation for a first offense. If a clinic has failed to implement the correct precautionary measures or is guilty of a second offense, the consequences are even more costly.
Five Serious Consequences for HIPAA Compliance Violations
- Costly fines
- Potential lawsuits
- Unhappy patients
- A damaged reputation
- Closure of the clinic

We help to secure each medical clinic’s future by keeping their ePHI safe and ensuring they are always prepared for a potential audit.
