How Can You Protect Your Hospital From Massive Fines?

ArticlesBy Tom Leahy

Today, the healthcare industry is one of the most strictly regulated industries in the country. This comes as no surprise, considering the critical nature of its duties, i.e. providing care for the patients. Therefore, it is now more imperative than ever to ensure that healthcare facilities are abiding by all the rules and regulations inflicted by the regulatory boards in order to avoid massive fines. These fines are not only restricted to the hospital and healthcare facilities themselves, but also the business vendors they have contracted themselves with. With over a decade of experience in the industry, we have recognized the need for a solution that would help manage such business associates in order to ensure the healthcare facility is not violating the rules and regulations. Hence, our partner, Aegify, has developed a robust solution to help healthcare facilities manage their business associates effectively, while ensuring they are in compliance with the regulatory boards. Despite our best intentions, we recognize that we may not always be able to cater to every healthcare organization’s need and that another vendor may be better suited; we’ll let you decide.

Webinar: BA Manager, The New Frontier Of Risk. How To Protect Your Hospital From Breaches & Fines

In order to give a thorough description of the requirements of HIPAA from hospitals and healthcare facilities, and how an organization can help protect itself, we decided to host a webinar session with our VP Sales, Tom Leahy, and our partner, Aegify’s CEO, Anupam Sahai. The webinar gives an overview of changes of HIPAA requirements, followed by an overview of Aegify’s solution, BA Manager, and concluding with a brief session of Q & A.

At PolicyMedical, we continue to strive to develop solutions that help healthcare facilities stay in compliance with the regulatory boards, such as HIPAA. In order to provide our clients with more solutions, we partnered up with Aegify to help manage business associates and vendors to help ensure healthcare facilities are not being fined massively by the boards. With that said, we realize that we may not always be the best fit for every organization and there may always be another vendor that can. Regardless, we are more than happy to help you come to a conclusion, please do not hesitate to contact us should you need further assistance.
