April 28, 2023 Is it draft season already? NFL teams have been stressing daily to boost their lineups and prepare for the upcoming season. With the NFL draft officially underway, teams risk their future success with unproven prospects. Why take a risk? Maybe they have identified a position that isn’t as strong as another, or perhaps they are looking into future potential. At Abyde, we take all the stress and guesswork out of compliance. Whether it’s HIPAA or OSHA, we’ve got you covered. Just like in the NFL, we also have a starting lineup. The Security Rule establishes national standards for protecting electronic PHI (ePHI). Covered entities and their business associates must implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect ePHI from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. So how do we save you? Like a good offensive center, our Security Risk Analysis will adapt to your practice’s needs and uncover potential risks. After taking this assessment, we will generate a Scorecard for the practice. Look at this as your playsheet. We will guide you through your high, medium, and low-risk items and even give you the ability to update any answer with the click of a button. There’s no “I” in a team, so what else is a part of our starting lineup? HIPAA Privacy Rule sets national standards for the protection of PHI. Covered entities and their business associates must ensure that they protect the privacy of patient’s PHI and provide patients with specific rights regarding their PHI, such as the right to access and correct their health records. Do you have Business Associate Agreements in place? How about policies and procedures for your practice? Abyde’sSecurity Risk Analysis will help dynamically generate your practice’s specific documentation. Like a good teammate, this will help guide you through you to ensure a culture of compliance within the office. Think we forgot about OSHA? There are also standards that the government requires practices to follow, which include Hazard Communication Standard, Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, and Personal Protective Equipment Standard, to name a few. So how do you keep pushing downfield while these standards set their sights on you? Abyde’s Facility Risk Assessment (FRA) and Emergency Action Plan (EAP) have your blindside like a hall-of-fame left tackle protecting you and your practice with insight on ensuring a safe and healthy workplace. In addition, the FRA establishes a game plan for the future. Abyde’s revolutionary software also provides specific employee training for the above standards. With Abyde, your documented compliance solution will protect you better than a Pro Bowl lineman! So, hopefully, your team – errr, practice – will make the right decisions this year, both on and off the field!
