Welcome to Feature Week! Whether you stayed tuned from last week, or are a first-time reader, we are celebrating the features that Abyde offers to make it easy for your practice to stay compliant.

Yesterday, we highlighted Abyde’s state-of-the-art Security Risk Analysis (SRA), turning a complicated evaluation of your business’s compliance practices into a simple questionnaire that can be completed in minutes. 

Once your SRA is done, the Scorecard comes into play. 

Get comfortable and stay tuned on how this feature can make HIPAA a breeze for your business. 

Keeping Score

Whew!, That SRA wasn’t so bad, right? So, what’s next?

This isn’t a scorecard like in golf but is a hole-in-one when it comes to monitoring your compliance practices.

The Scorecard is a review of your answers to the SRA and gives your business a thorough explanation of how your current practices hold up against regulations, and what your organization can do to improve. 

The SRA is like a coach’s playbook, outlining the game plan for HIPAA compliance. The Scorecard is this plan in action, like reviewing your game tape, seeing what you need to improve and what vulnerabilities you have as a business. 

This scorecard is easy to review and gives your business the risk levels of your current practices. 

Each question is unique, and some practices are more critical than others. For instance, only changing your password every six months is not ideal, but not as risky as not encrypting your files. 

Unfortunately, some practices will never be ‘low risk’, even if they are not wrong just because there’s always the chance of human and technological errors. 

For instance, numerous employees working remotely while handling Protected Health Information (PHI) is always going to be riskier than all PHI staying in one location. 

Impacted by a breach? You can easily show proof of a Security Risk Analysis by downloading the Scorecard in the software, showing the government that you take HIPAA seriously. 

You can also see every version of your Scorecard in the software, seeing how your path to compliance has gotten easier with the help of Abyde.
