What is required for HIPAA Compliance? Here’s a Checklist!

Lots of our visitors ask us “what is required for HIPAA compliance?” Because this is such an important question, we try to direct our visitors to the most trusted sources for HIPAA education. The most important aspect to remember is that a checklist based “solution” is my no means affective. What we do endorse is the ability to use a checklist to understand what aspect of HIPAA you are doing, and to recognize ones you may have looked over or need to address in further detail. We recommend taking a look at Compliancy Group who has two resources for your organization, whether you’re a Covered Entity or a Business Associate. First, we recommend reading and downloading their HIPAA compliance checklist. Or you can register for their HIPAA compliance checklist webinar!

Some of the key findings in the checklist highlight Business Associate Agreements, and also help point out the need for more than just a security risk assessment. As many are familiar with there is a need for HIPAA training, but we do appreciate how it points out the need for documentation of training and other attestations.

Please let us know any other resources you are looking for and questions you may have in regards to HIPAA compliance, and we would be happy to help!
