Do you have — and use — clear procedures in your practice to ensure your patients’ electronic protected health information (ePHI) remains confidential and safe from leaks or hacking? Do you have a plan if something goes awry? Can you safely provide ePHI when a patient requests it?
The HIPAA Security Rule requires all this. Although the rule gives detailed instructions for following some standards, others are “addressable” — you can adopt procedures that are reasonable for your practice. Boilerplate policies and procedures won’t do. HIPAA requires you to conduct a risk assessment of your practice, then create and follow a written plan that mitigates security risks as well as the consequences of a security breach.
