HIPAA Policy Procedure documentation

Proper documentation is a primary requirement for demonstrating that your organization is HIPAA compliant. Our HIPAA Compliance solutions include policy & procedure documentation and Business Associate Agreements.

Why is documentation necessary?

Like any other rules, HIPAA Rules are complex and difficult to comprehend, and many organizations implement these rules on their own. There are various required components outlined under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and documentation is the stepping stone towards being compliant.

The purpose of documentation is that it helps others to understand what has been completed, what actions need to be taken, and what issues have not been addressed. It also helps to communicate the structure of compliance an organization has in place to those outside the business. Proper record-keeping and organization of documents makes yearly updating much faster, helps a company be transparent, and ensures that security efforts are organized.
