Take the stress out of your demanding patient-privacy obligations
All US healthcare organizations have to fully understand and adhere to the complex regulations outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This includes conducting risk assessments, implementing specific policies and procedures, applying robust security measures, and delivering ongoing staff training. If you’re looking to safeguard your patients' health information while mitigating your potential liabilities, you have found an expert HIPAA compliance partner.

10-step HIPAA compliance
A quick checklist of the most important ways to protect your business
Secure your electronic patient health information (ePHI) during its processing, transmission, and storage
Implement strict controls so only authorized individuals can access patient health information.
Regularly review system logs, audit trails, and other sources to monitor system access and user interactions with ePHI.
Periodically train employees on the importance of safeguarding ePHI and recognizing potential security threats.
Establish procedures for data backup and recovery, and emergency mode operations to ensure the availability of ePHI.
Ensure all vendors and contractors who have access to ePHI adhere to HIPAA regulations.
Conduct regular risk assessments to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in the handling of ePHI.
Establish protocols for responding to security incidents, including data breaches and unauthorized disclosures of ePHI.
Record and examine all access to ePHI for future security monitoring and analysis.
Your HIPAA security risk assessment
It is essential to identify any weakness in your ePHI handling and assess the likelihood of any compliance failures. The assessment process will reveal vulnerabilities, such as unsecured patient records or inadequate access controls, that could result in a breach. You’ll find the results actionable, and our experts will guide you through any steps required to mitigate a risk.
HIPAA-compliant cloud services
If you’re working in the cloud, you know it’s strictly regulated: HIPAA demands specialized protections for patient information that is stored, processed, or transmitted in the cloud. DTS’s HIPAA consulting addresses these requirements with encryption, access controls, audit trails, staff training, and a range of other cloud-specific security measures.
