Digital health technologies, tools, and solutions are exploding in healthcare. Each innovation, implementation, installation, and integration creates a new HIPAA compliance risk. How prepared is your healthcare organization?
Digital transformation is a business imperative for hospitals, health systems, and medical practices. That transformation comes with its own unique risks.
Each time you power on a new digital health technology, tool, or solution to improve your clinical, financial, or operational performance, you might unintentionally create a new HIPAA compliance risk.
Every new connection potentially exposes protected health information (PHI) and proprietary business information to new privacy and security risks.
Crowe can help you mitigate those risks and expand your HIPAA compliance risk coverage.
Digital transformation challenges HIPAA compliance
The pace of digital transformation in healthcare is accelerating. With each telemedicine platform integration and remote patient monitoring system connection comes a new privacy and security risk to PHI and HIPAA compliance.
Your HIPAA compliance capabilities must stay ahead of each new risk. Anticipating and mitigating new risks is critical to protecting patient information and your organization’s reputation.
Robust and forward-looking are the new watchwords
Given the fast pace of digital transformation, your HIPAA compliance capabilities must be up to the task. Compliance must be forward-looking. Simply checking a box is not an option in today’s environment.
The healthcare risk and compliance specialists at Crowe can help your organization make the transition from a passive HIPAA compliance program that does damage control to a robust program that proactively avoids problems.
HIPAA compliance risks are lurking around every corner of your hospital, health system, or medical practice.
We can help you find them before they find you.
