Healthcare Compliance Assistance
Protected Health Information Storing and Security
Whether you maintain your own Electronic Medical Records server systems locally or link securely to an off-site Cloud Based EMR and Practice Management system, every Medical Healthcare Provider is responsible to maintain the highest levels of security to Protect their private Patient Health Information from theft, unauthorized access and improper use.
Keeping up with today's ever changing Federal Information Handling and Security standards can be a daunting task. Let LCBITS take the guess work out of Federal Compliance with a comprehensive Security Risk Assessment of your medical practice as Required by Federal Law. LCBITS can assist your Healthcare Practice to understand the requirements and ensure total compliance to all government regulations. We can also walk you through the basics of MACRA reporting using MIPS or APM methods.
Security Risk Assessments
Risk Assessments are a Required portion of MACRA reporting for All Physicians, Hospitals, and Medical Practices in the United States and must be performed Annually. The purpose of this assessment is to prove your organization takes all necessary steps to Protect and Preserve critical Patient Healthcare and Private Information.
LCBITS can provide fully compliant CMS and HIPAA approved SRA audits utilizing NIST methodology which goes above and beyond minimum Healthcare Standards. Your SRA will come complete with a full site Assessment, Critical Upgrades to technical and physical environment, Training for key Staff and Clinicians, and full Documentation including performance scores and improvement options.
