The trend of moving from paper to digital has moved from the large medical practices to
smaller organizations. Dentist, chiropractors, holistic doctors, and
acupuncturist are gaining significant return on investment that allows them to
downsize their office space and/or expand their practice. While organization are doing research on what digital solutions to use like BOX
with the Snap-File solution there are still
requirements to ensure daily practices and employees are meeting HIPAA/HITECH security requirements. These organizations
are establishing policy and practices for HIPAA HITECH safeguards and working
to schedule risk assessments. A question we've been asked is "In an operation
of one or two people, who is the Security Officer?" What's more important than that who holds the
position is are the necessary controls to be in place and being managed to ensure PHI (personal health information) data is
protected.
