With increased federal regulation and evolving technology, medical practices and covered entities are mandated to comply with higher security standards for electronic protected health information, such as medical records and patient billing. The HIPAA Security Compliance Assessment is an accurate and thorough analysis of an organization’s current HIPAA compliance status. This includes a deep examination of electronic medical record management and software where applicable.
Everstream’s HIPAA controls were initially established in 2013 and are independently audited on an annual basis. All applicable controls were assessed, and based on the information provided, Everstream was found to be compliant with all 70 HIPAA Security Rule controls as stipulated at the time of assessment (e.g. Security Management Process; Workforce Security; Rights to request privacy protection for protected health information; and Standards for health information technology to protect electronic health information created, maintained, and exchanged) and taking steps to show reasonable effort to secure the Everstream environment as it aligns with the HIPAA Privacy and Security model.
