KEEP YOUR PRACTICE SAFE WITH A PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT (PIA).


Included in your Brightsquid Complete Compliance Package:



WHAT IS A PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT

A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is the process of examining the method in which your clinic collects, uses, and discloses protected patient information from an administrative, physical, and technology standpoint. It looks at every single thing that touches patient data (from software to internal processes), identifies the security risks for that information and establishes risk management strategies.

Often more than 300 pages long, a PIA establishes compliant policies and procedures designed to avoid privacy breaches in your practice and keep you, your staff, and your patients safe.

In some jurisdictions such as Alberta, Canada (and soon, nation-wide) PIAs are mandatory for many healthcare professions. No matter where you are, we highly recommend doing the thorough analysis to determine the risks that could affect the viability of your business. Better yet, you can rest knowing that you’re operating your clinic in the safest way possible.


PRIVACY TRAINING: MAKE SURE STAFF KNOW HOW TO BE COMPLIANT.

Healthcare is the only industry in which internal privacy breaches outnumber external attacks. The top reason many healthcare privacy breaches happen is because clinic staff are unaware of the rules. A proper training and awareness program ensures a consistent approach when working to stay compliant throughout the organization.

Privacy compliance training is included with your Brightsquid Complete Compliance Package.Your staff will learn all regulatory requirements, their responsibility in protecting patient information and how to avoid common privacy breaches. With your continued compliance subscription, you can also send new staff, or even return to training for a refresher.

YOUR BEST SUPPORT IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH.

Did you know that healthcare data and protected patient information is worth more on the black market than credit card numbers? The personal patient information stored in your clinic is a goldmine for cyber criminals. There is a 25% chance your clinic will be hacked in the next 2.5 years. Combined with the risk of human error, the risk of a breach in your clinic is high.

Mandatory breach reporting is the law across North America to protect patientsagainst the threat of identity theft, humiliation, damage to reputation or relationships, loss of employment, professional opportunities, financial loss, and more.

Your complete compliance package subscription from Brightsquid includes breach reporting guidance.However, our team will first exhaust all avenues to determine if an incident needs to be reported as a breach.
