According to the OIG, there are seven (7) elements to an effective compliance program: 1. Designation of a Compliance Officer and Compliance Committee. (OSHA also requires an OSHA Safety Officer be assigned and HIPAA requires that Privacy & Security Officers be assigned as well.) 2. Development of compliance policies and procedures, including standards of conduct. This applies to OSHA and HIPAA also. (MedSafe can implement these items for you.) 3. Development of open lines of communication. 4. Appropriate training and education. Both OSHA and HIPAA have requirements for this. 5. Internal monitoring and auditing. (MedSafe can assist in identifying internal deficiencies.) 6. Response to detected deficiencies. 7. Enforcement of disciplinary standards.
If you are a medical practice, it is required that you complete a security risk analysis (SRA) annually. If you are a dental practice, an SRA isn't required, but we highly recommend that your office conduct one.

HIPAA requires organizations to implement and "regularly" review a HIPAA training. Anything beyond a year cannot be considered regular. Therefore, we recommend conducting HIPAA training on an annual basis, bundled with OSHA. For further information, or to sign-up, please call (888) MEDSAFE (633-7233) and select option 4.
Regulations require that you have practice-specific, i.e., customized, manuals and training programs. MedSafe will create these and make sure that they are updated when there are any changes to the regulations. For further information, please call us at (781) 237-9700, and select option 2.
