HIPAA Rule #1

All Health Care Professionals who electronically transmit protected health information (ePHI) are required to have written policies and procedures to implement reasonable and appropriate security measures.

Easily comply with Rule #1 in less than 1 hour with TheraPolicy. Efficiently stay compliant by fulfilling ongoing and mandatory policy reviews, risk assessments, and workforce training with our Compliance Manager. With the revenue from only a few appointments, you can put these pesky worries to rest and tame the BEAST!

Attorneys report that now virtually every health care provider is a covered entity under HIPAA, exposing themselves to penalties for breaching privacy practices; In audits, the most common reasons DHHS penalizes professionals for non-compliance are:

• Failure to follow HIPAA Rule #1
• Failure to perform risk analysis
• Failure to regularly update risk analysis
• Failure to routinely train workforce members about HIPAA

Avoid cumbersome and costly penalties with our convenient and affordable services. If you are a member of a professional organization, consider contributing back to your field through our Professional Organization Participation opportunity.
