IT audit and compliance solutions
designed for healthcare.
Portals and databases help healthcare organizations seamlessly access patient data and streamline operations. Regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) could counteract these benefits with complex controls that cause problems in both understanding and implementation. Excessive controls can limit efficiency while noncompliance risks data loss and penalties. Coalfire incorporates a proven methodology founded on the HIPAA Security Rule and incorporated by our certified IT auditing experts. A thorough understanding of your existing controls allows us to integrate compliance solutions that don't reduce benefits.
As the U.S. moves toward an era of enhanced use of shared Electronic Medical Records (EMR), it will become more critical to establish effective controls to protect sensitive personal information.
