Common Compliance Pitfalls that providers must avoid

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) guidelines were introduced in 1996 to protect the health information of patients and till today, compliance to these guidelines is a must for physicians. HIPAA was created to standardize the process of safeguarding private patient information. But unfortunately, most practices are failing to implement even the basic HIPAA requirements. They are considering compliance needs as a one-time goal and not an ongoing process, putting patient data security at risk.

  3. Common compliance pitfalls that providers must avoid: HIPAA privacy violations must be avoided and this can be done only when the healthcare professionals have a good understanding of the Privacy Rule. Second pitfall is related to social breaches under which accidental breaches in social situations are quite common. Not every patient has a clear sense of HIPAA. Accessing patient data on personal devices is the third most common compliance pitfall. Accessing information from a personal computer isn’t a violation but it can be a risky behavior. Loss of device with PHI, mishandling of medical records and failure to enter into HIPAA-compliant business associate agreements are also compliance pitfalls that must be avoided.
