- Develop policies that outline what steps will be taken if PHI is compromised due to theft, loss or breach of confidentiality and review these policies on a regular basis
- Ensure that employees are trained on all of your policies and procedures regarding PHI
- Work with vendors and partners that have access to patient PHI to guarantee that the information is safeguarded by them while in their possession
Compliance made easy. Our destruction services provide you with proof that you took steps to protect PHI in accordance with HIPAA. We currently work with professionals in many businesses:
