One-Stop HIPAA dashboard helps streamline compliance

13-08-2015

SecurityMetrics has launched its HIPAA Dashboard, an easy-to-update online interface that doubles as a documentation tool and simplifies the HIPAA compliance process into straightforward actionable steps for healthcare providers.

Within The SecurityMetrics HIPAA Dashboard, a customized to-do list prompts users on next-step items that must be addressed to comply.

"Most providers know about HIPAA, but don't know where to start," said Tod Ferran, HIPAA security analyst at SecurityMetrics. "Instead of potentially missing critical security implementations for patient data protection, SecurityMetrics HIPAA Dashboard users can visualize their path to compliance and feel confident it's actually achievable."

Specifically designed for compliance officers, risk managers, healthcare practitioners, and office managers, the portal allows customers to complete a thorough HIPAA risk analysis; execute a HIPAA risk management plan; access privacy and security policies/procedures; track workforce training; assign specific to-do's to employees within an organization; document business associate agreements; and download HIPAA compliance reports for audit preparation.

The SecurityMetrics HIPAA Dashboard also opens access to trained HIPAA Security Advisors that walk users through any problems or questions they encounter on their HIPAA compliance journey.

Providers need not start their HIPAA process from scratch year after year, but can update their account with system changes that occurred within the year and follow the risk analysis and risk management plan recommendations that follow.
