HIPAA Compliance for Dentists in Independence, MO

requires your practice to carry out a risk assessment and evaluate the assessment on a regular basis (see 45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1)). Additionally, your assessments need to include all administrative, physical, and digital systems within your practice.

A risk assessment is not a 5-minute online list as some companies claim. Rather, a detailed, HIPAA-acceptedrisk assessment often requires between 3 to 5 hours to perform. And, if done correctly, the assessment needs to generate a “treatment strategy” called a HIPAA Management Plan. But don’t worry: The Digital Dentist takes care of all the heavy lifting for you.
