HIPAA Compliance for Dentists in Decatur, AL

calls for your practice to complete a risk assessment and evaluate the assessment routinely (see 45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1)). Additionally, your assessment must include all administrative, physical, and digital systems in your practice.

A risk assessment is not a five-minute online checklist as some agencies claim. Rather, a comprehensive, HIPAA-acceptablerisk assessment typically calls for around 3 to 5 hours to perform. And, if done the right way, the assessment needs to generate a “treatment plan” called a HIPAA Management Plan. But not to worry: The Digital Dentist takes care of all the heavy lifting for you.

The Management Plan is crucial for proper compliance. It needs to be performed by specialists, such as The Digital Dentist, who has been performing threat assessments and Management Plans for more than 5 years.
