Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Compliance Services

Labeled the "Next Y2K", compliance with HIPAA provisions will require substantial time and resources, and commitment from within all areas of the Healthcare organization. Yet unlike "Y2K", the impact of HIPAA regulations extends far beyond the Information Services domain. HIPAA affects all people, processes and technologies within the Healthcare organization. Becoming HIPAA compliant does have a major upside however as it creates tremendous opportunities for organizations that want to move forward with their digital strategy.

CoyoteWorks Technologies' HIPAA capabilities are demonstrated by our:

• Strong healthcare-specific industry expertise and resources dedicated to HIPAA
  
• Demonstrated thought leadership in evaluating HIPAA's impact on organizations
  
• Detailed business process models for providers and payer organizations that enable us to address privacy rules across the entire span of activities
  
• Experience in comprehensive data conversion and code remediation
• Proven success in the management of large-scale, enterprise-wide programs
  
• Leadership role in a host of HIPAA-related committees and task forces including:
  
  • Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI),
    
  • Health Level Seven (HL7), and
    
  • National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS).

At the core of our approach are formal methodologies and tools to help organizations efficiently assess their HIPAA-related risks, opportunities and compliance costs. We offer solutions that quickly assess areas of risk related to HIPAA compliance and generate analysis of business partners, software vendors, and compliance or non-compliance surrounding the regulations. The major components of our HIPAA approach are:

• Strategic Blueprint - We evaluate your organization's readiness for HIPAA, determine gaps as compared to the individual requirements, provide alternate solutions (i.e., replace a system or remediate), provide a framework for achieving compliance in privacy and security, and estimate costs and benefits to achieve compliance.
  
• Solution Definition - We define detailed requirements and a comprehensive HIPAA solution for each part of your business and application infrastructure.
  
• Implementation Support - We help you renovate, enhance, or replace systems as needed, deliver technology and processes that are operationally compliant, and help you redesign processes to comply with privacy and security requirements.
