No matter what your role is with patient protected health information (PHI), all the other vendors that you work with are relying on you to do your part in compliance. When you work with Layered Tech, you can confidently assure your partners – whether they're hospitals, health care providers, payer networks, ISVs, or other entities that store, transmit or process PHI data – that you are 100% HIPAA compliant – guaranteed. With this kind of compliance guarantee, your value as a trusted partner will increase, improving your credibility and opening the door to more revenue opportunities.
Regulatory compliance, such as adhering to HIPAA and HITECH mandates, is a complex task that can become a costly undertaking for health care companies and others who electronically store or process protected health information. If not done correctly, non-compliance carries an even costlier burden, with fines in the millions when violations are discovered. And the number of data breaches among health care organizations is still growing, compromising patient privacy and contributing to medical identity theft every day.
Layered Tech's HIPAA compliant hosting services can relieve you of the complex demands of compliance. With our Layer 4: Compliance Management solution, each key HIPAA mandate is met, ensuring that your sensitive patient information is fully secure and that you'll pass every HIPAA-related audit.
We help you balance your risk, assuring you that all IT controls, from documentation and remediation, to transparency and audit support, are fully enforced. This frees up internal resources, with reduced time, scope, and costs for audits and regulatory discovery and allows you to reallocate your staff and budget dollars to higher priority projects.
We'll provide everything you need – including the infrastructure, resources, and expertise – to help you implement the best HIPAA-compliant solution possible.
Increasingly, Covered Entities – businesses that store or transmit electronic protected health information (PHI) – are coming under the scrutiny of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the entity responsible for enforcing the HIPAA Security Rule. Massive fines have already been issued starting in February 2011. One staggering example is a hospital in the Northeast that was fined $1 Million for 192 missing patient records. Covered Entities are certainly taking notice, especially since random audits have been authorized as of 2012.
Below are a few examples of Covered Entities that typically seek the assistance of a HIPAA compliant service provider to handle complex IT requirements:
