HIPAA Compliance for Dentists in St. Louis, MO

requires your practice to carry out a risk assessment and review the assessment routinely (see 45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1)). Additionally, your assessments have to include all administrative, physical, and electronic systems used in your practice.

A risk assessment isn’t a 5-minute online checklist as some agencies state. Rather, a thorough, HIPAA-acceptedrisk assessment generally calls for 3 to 5 hours to carry out. And, if done the right way, the assessment should generate a “treatment strategy” called a HIPAA Management Plan. But not to worry: The Digital Dentist handles all the heavy lifting for you.
