SYDNEY, NS, CANADA – Today Carbide is announcing the HIPAA Compliance Fast Track, a solution to speed up the process for businesses to meet security and privacy requirements for selling to the healthcare industry. For vendors and service providers, known as business associates, proving this standard of compliance can be a barrier to serving the United States healthcare industry.
“HIPAA Compliance Fast Track provides an efficient path to become a vendor for the healthcare industry, which would otherwise be a time and resource-intensive undertaking for many businesses. This is a great value to businesses that see the HIPAA Compliance Fast Track as a way to reduce their own risk, while opening up opportunities to reach a new market segment,” says Carbide CEO Darren Gallop.
“At the same time, if more businesses can achieve HIPAA compliance, the healthcare industry would benefit by gaining access to innovative solutions. Especially as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, it is critical that American hospitals and healthcare providers can securely use the best technology available.”
While the requirements for HIPAA compliance can prove difficult to implement for many businesses, the HIPAA Compliance Fast Track is designed to give business leaders clear steps, compliance reporting, and a central hub for managing everything. Businesses can use this to efficiently achieve and maintain HIPAA compliance, ensuring their data, technology, and software meets security and privacy standards for serving facilities that hold patient contact information and medical records.
Carbide’s HIPAA Compliance Fast Track includes the following tools and resources for businesses:
- Security Gap Analysis and Planning for HIPAA Compliance: This technical assessment of the current security measures and infrastructure at a business identifies gaps in compliance with HIPAA.
