Help with HIPAA Compliance

data breach
If the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) receives a complaint from a patient, your dental practice may come under investigation. This may also occur if you report a security breach or if the OCR is concerned about something at your practice. The level of investigation may range from a letter of demand for policy information, to a visit of the premises, depending on the nature of the complaint.

If your practice cannot satisfy the OCR that you are doing everything possible to maintain patient privacy and that you have adequate data security measures in place, you may be subject to fines or corrective actions.

Many medical waste disposal companies partner with dental and medical practices to help them with HIPAA compliance. They offer policy templates, risk assessment tools and staff training. By relying on their expertise and simple-to-use tools and templates, you will create a safe, secure infrastructure for patients and staff alike. This will protect both your business and your patients’ privacy.
