Preparing for HIPAA Audits and Texting Securely with TigerConnect
TigerConnect is the market leader in secure texting solutions, and our platforms are implemented in more than 5,000 facilities to assist healthcare organizations with HIPAA compliance, HIPAA audits and texting securely.
We have prepared a free white paper – “The Top 5 Takeaways from HIPAA Omnibus Audits” – which you are invited to download and read, and which provides advice on assessing the security of your organization´s exchange of ePHI to prepare for HIPAA audits.
Areas also covered in the white paper include evaluating vendors of secure texting solutions to ensure the mechanism you select is capable of secure texting to HIPAA audits standards, and so that if work practices change, technology advances or further legislation is introduced, the selected secure texting solution is sufficiently flexible to remain HIPAA compliant.
Due to our extensive experience in processing secure text messages we can also provide healthcare organizations with advice on establishing best practice policies to guide staff on the use of the secure texting solution and help to develop procedures for how to deal with a breach of ePHI – something which is unlikely to occur with a TigerConnect secure texting solution, but which features on the OCR’s audit protocol.
