NEWPORT BEACH, CA, USA - AUGUST 18, 2008: HIPAA Academy today announced the release of ComplianceALLTM - a Managed Compliance Services Program (MCSP) for small healthcare practitioners - the first program of its type in the industry, worldwide.
The ComplianceALLTM Program is tailored to meet the HIPAA compliance requirements of small healthcare practitioners. Key features of the ComplianceALLTM Program are:
· Bundled outsourced solution for a fixed monthly fee
· Periodic performance of vulnerability assessments, security risk analysis, BIA and contingency planning
· Training, certification and periodic audit and evaluation to keep your organization fully compliant at all times
· Keeping you compliant with the regulations, to help you focus on the business of delivering exceptional services and capabilities to your clients
· A standardized, centralized, stabilized, secure and manageable fully documented EPHI protection system server installed at small practitioner site
· IT on site support at discounted rates
Ali Pabrai, CEO and co-founder of HIPAA Academy stated, "Small healthcare providers understand the need to comply with HIPAA, but have always struggled with costs and the process to meet regulatory requirements on an on-going basis. The ComplianceALLTM Program provides a low, fixed-price solution to enable organizations address critical HIPAA requirements on a continual basis. Hopefully this can be a standard HIPAA solution available through affiliated IT organizations who have a countrywide presence and that can help service the small business sector meet continous compliance nationally."
"There are a few million small healthcare providers and most of them have not expended the effort to comply with HIPAA, especially the Security Rule. This can become a national problem because when you add them all up, they add up to be a significant sector of the healthcare industry, making EPHI at risk in a huge and incomprehensible sense." said Gerry Dumatol founder and president of DumaTekT, a California Corporation that specializes in HIPAA in the small business sector in healthcare.
ComplianceALLTM - HIPAA Academy's Seal of Trust
The ComplianceALLTM Program provides a 360-degree end-to-end compliance service spectrum that is designed to meet specific requirements. With a complete program, the end product will be a comprehensively documented computer network system, standardized and configured with a full Backup and Disaster Recovery System (BDRS), maintained through a Remote Monitoring and Support Site. The solution eliminates the required need for extensive training in IT, time for planning, time for documentation, time for solution research, time for identifying and applying controls to minimize common vulnerabilities and risk to EPHI, time for evaluations, and payroll for personnel required to maintain this program.
Importantly, it makes available a fully documented and comprehensive presentation for a surveyor to research or for an employee or staff member to reference in case of an incident.
The ComplianceALLTM Program is a turn-key solution with a mission to help protect EPHI for the small business sector, ComplianceALLTM is built on the idea that small practitioner "Covered Entities" should have a chance to comply without high costs, and should have available resources at all times for their protection under the law and the protection of their sensitive patient information.
