HIPPA has changed health care. The medical industry knows it. Patients are starting to figure it out, too. In a society where the easiest buck to earn is in the American courtroom, the question is not whether medical practitioners will be held accountable for securing patient information, but how much will they be made to pay when they fail? Can a hospital, a practice, or a lone practitioner survive a blow not covered by medical malpractice insurance? For most providers, the answer is no.

 

The truth is, effective information security is available that will free up providers to concentrate on what they do best – heal. But it involves more than recovering a hastily signed waiver at a patient’s first visit. It means being intentional when you begin transitioning to a paperless chart and filing system.

 

The experts at Security Assessment Group have developed simple, effective methods to better ensure groups are HIPPA-safe and compliant with JCAHO standards. We can also craft physical security solutions ideal for the hospital, clinic, and private practice settings, where special concern must be given to patient comfort and security. S.A.G. consultants will provide general security awareness training for all hospital staff on how to deal with difficult or threatening patients and visitors. We can even write or revise comprehensive Emergency Department Security Guidelines to ensure the physical safety of patients and staff.

Your patients and staff already have enough on their minds. The consultants at Security Assessment Group can ensure a relaxed and welcoming environment that helps foster wellness.
