HIPAA Compliance Program
HIPAA compliance is not optional for covered entities and business associates, and OCR enforcement has demonstrated that it is not theoretical. The Security Rule, Privacy Rule, and HITECH requirements create a comprehensive compliance obligation that most healthcare organizations and their vendors manage reactively until an audit or breach forces a different approach. A structured HIPAA compliance program changes that — turning regulatory requirements into operational reality before the consequence arrives.
