HIPAA standards are in place to give patients more control over their privacy and prevent patient data from being compromised. Most health care organizations must legally comply with HIPAA, meaning it's important to partner with a HIPAA-compliant IT company.
Beyond your legal obligations, maintaining HIPAA compliance helps instill confidence and peace of mind in your customers. Promising that level of confidentiality proves that your organization cares about patients' privacy and is willing to put the necessary time and resources into protecting their data. HIPAA compliance is mostly beneficial for patients, so you should ensure your systems are compliant to better serve and protect them.
Contigo employees receive monthly HIPAA IT compliance training in our Austin office to better serve our health care clients. As a business associate, Contigo is always sharpening our technical staff's knowledge on appropriately safeguarding the Protected Health Information (PHI) received or created on behalf of the covered entity.
Your computing systems and IT needs are closely tied to HIPAA compliance, meaning your IT support should come from a HIPAA-compliant company. At Contigo, our technical processes and solutions are designed to meet HIPAA requirements, secure IT resources, and keep employees working efficiently.
