Just make sure the app does not disclose any Protected Health Information (PHI), and make sure all employees are properly trained on PHI best practices. With that said, what’s really missing when it comes to healthcare and HIPAA compliance is security awareness training and there’s really no excuse for this. There are actually hundreds of free and cost-effective solutions online, but time and time again, I see Covered Entities and Business Associates failing to implement basic training. As a HIPAA security specialist, it’s somewhat upsetting to see this because something that’s so vital to an organization and that is so easy and cost-effective to obtain is many times never done. C’mon folks, train your employees about ensuring the safety and security of PHI, it’s not that difficult. Think about it, healthcare companies spend massive amounts of money on new hardware and software products for security, but the true front line for defense for protecting PHI is well-trained and educated employees, something that’s so easy to do!
You really make it seem really easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I
think I would by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex
and very vast for me. I’m looking forward for your subsequent submit, I’ll try to get the cling of it!
