Healthcare Privacy Compliance is Critical for Your Clinic

Healthcare data and protected patient information is worth 100x more than credit card numbers on the black market. And we don’t mean to scare you, but there is a 25% chance your clinic will be hacked by cybercriminals in the next 2.5 years. Combined with the elevated risk of human error in healthcare settings, the chance of a privacy breach in your clinic is high.

Here’s how Brightsquid helps your clinic stay safe from the crippling fallout of a privacy breach:

Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA)

We study your current operations, technology, policies, procedures, communication channels, etc., to identify privacy or compliance gaps. This is done by conducting expertly prepared Privacy Impact Assessments that examine all areas of your practice and formalizing a comprehensive operations plan to establish ongoing healthcare privacy compliance. Our PIA reviews align with strict compliance requirements of the Health Information Act, and include a comprehensive privacy impact assessment checklist to ensure your clinic is secure.

Up-to-Date Expert Guidance

Interpretation of privacy regulations and how they apply to your daily operations is difficult and dangerous. Misinterpretation and missed requirements can close clinics down. Get trustworthy answers to all your privacy compliance questions from our always-learning privacy professionals. Whether you’re looking for guidance on vendor selection, compliance with the Health Information Act, or privacy breach reporting in Canada, our experts provide clear, actionable advice tailored to your clinic’s needs.

Actionable Compliance Training

Privacy compliance training, breach prevention, and cyber security awareness training courses are included for all members of your team. Courses are online in bite-sized chunks so staff can be trained as soon as they join your team, and refresh annually without distracting from their regular duties. Proper training ensures your team understands their roles in maintaining healthcare privacy compliance and preventing breaches as outlined in the Health Information Act.

Ongoing Compliance Support

Like all technology, cybersecurity tools, and policies also need to stay up-to-date with current trends and innovations. Our team will help review your clinic’s privacy policies, procedures, and technology to ensure that your operations align with the latest regulatory updates. Regular PIA reviews ensure compliance with key privacy regulations while maintaining a proactive approach to preventing privacy breaches.

Ensure Your Clinic Compliance, Complete a Privacy Impact Assessment

Health Information Act, HIPAA, or PIPEDA compliance isn’t just good for business—it’s critical for a clinic’s survival.

Privacy regulations are established based on best practices to keep patient information safe and protect your clinic from suffering the damage of a privacy breach.

An expertly prepared Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) examines all areas of your practice to ensure safe, secure, and compliant policies and procedures are in place. It’s the only surefire way to be confident your clinic is operating in compliance.

Calling on decades of privacy impact assessment experience, our experts ensure that no area of your practice is overlooked. Regular PIA reviews also help your clinic adapt to regulatory changes and stay ahead of emerging risks.

Benefits of a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)

Completing a PIA is not just a regulatory requirement anymore. With cyber-attacks and breach incidents on the rise, clinics need to be on their toes when it comes to safeguarding their healthcare data environment. A privacy impact assessment helps you to identify compliance gaps and enhance patient trust. Here’s how a PIA can benefit your practice:

Ensure Regulatory Compliance

Staying compliant with regulations like the Health Information Act and provincial privacy laws can be daunting. A PIA simplifies this process by aligning your clinic’s operations with all applicable legal requirements.

Identify Compliance Gaps

A comprehensive PIA provides a detailed analysis of your clinic’s processes, technology, and policies and identifies vulnerabilities that could lead to non-compliance.

Mitigate Risks

The financial and operational fallout of a privacy breach can be devastating. A PIA helps identify and mitigate risks before they escalate, saving your clinic from potential penalties, lawsuits, and operational disruptions.
