HIPAA Health Care Privacy
and Security
HIPAA identifies 18 information identifiers of Protected Health
Information (PHI). Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
may or may not contain Protected Health Information.
Health Information Technology (HIT)systems and procedures should be reviewed and
assessed to determine if sensitive information
exists and, if so, who has access to this
information.In general, it is better to have a minimum amount of
captured and stored PHI and a minimum amount of
staff reviewing and accessing the information.
Assessments review technology systems, people
(staff), and processes (procedures) - any one of
these three areas can create risks.
Over the years of providing services to the health
care industry, Altius IT's
HIPAA Implementation Roadmap helps organizations
meet HIPAA
compliance.
