HIPAA Compliance for Dentists in Springfield, MO

calls for your practice to perform a risk assessment and review the assessment routinely (see 45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1)). Further, your assessments have to consist of all administrative, physical, and digital systems used in your practice.

A risk analysis is not a 5-minute online checklist as some agencies assert. Rather, a comprehensive, HIPAA-approvedthreat assessment typically calls for 3-5 hours to perform. And, if done properly, the assessment should generate a “treatment plan” called a HIPAA Management Plan. But don’t worry: The Digital Dentist handles all the heavy lifting for you.

The Management Plan is essential for proper compliance. It needs to be performed by specialists, like The Digital Dentist, who has been conducting risk assessments and Management Plans for over 5 years.
