Follow on Google News | Hyperion Global Partners Brings HITECH Risk Assessment Starter Kit to the Legal MarketStarter Kit Helps Law Firms Gather Information and Assess Their Current State of Compliance for the New Healthcare Privacy/Security Guidelines Now in Effect
The United States Congress enacted the HITECH Act in February of 2009, which became active and enforceable in February 2010 and is now in effect. As a result, law firms that receive or handle protected healthcare information from their clients are now required to be HIPAA compliant. This includes the implementation of traceable measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all electronically protected health information that the firm creates, receives, maintains, or transmits. This Starter Kit is designed to guide firms through the myriad of new regulatory requirements and to provide an efficient way to assess and understand their firm’s privacy and security compliance landscape. It includes the following: • Information Gathering Tools and Templates • Compliance Risk Matrix – including exact implementation safeguards directly from the Department of Health and Human Services • Risk Assessment Briefing with Compliance Expert “This is a critical new compliance issue that law firms have to understand and demonstrably implement as a result of the new HITECH Act,” said Eyal Iffergan, Managing Principal of HyperionGP. “We wanted to provide a simple way for our clients to assess their situation and implement policies to comply with these new regulations. This kit provides a low cost and rapid method to give our clients the tools they need to be exactly where they need to be.” “These kits are based on extensive research and years of experience,” More detailed product and ordering information can be found at http://www.hyperiongp.com/ About Hyperion Global Partners Hyperion Global Partners (www.hyperiongp.com) Contact: Pamela E.
