HIPAA Guidelines: Understanding HIPAA Compliance on the Cloud

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates industry-wide standards for protection and confidential handling of the electronic healthcare information for electronic billing and other processes. In order to maintain the HIPAA Privacy regulations, the Healthcare providers and organizations must develop and follow certain procedures to ensure the confidentiality and security of the Protected Health Information(PHI). The ‘Guidance on HIPAA and Cloud Computing’ released in 2016, by the US Government of Health and Human Services(HSS) provides information on maintaining HIPAA compliance while using cloud computing services for storing and managing ePHI. Based on this, the HealthCare organization and Cloud Service Provider(CSP) is directly liable for meeting both the business associate agreement(BSS) and compliance with the associated requirements of the HIPAA rules.

Revenue Cycle

Revenue Cycle Automation & Efficiency

This is the last component in my #returntorevenue series, highlighting the steps necessary to expeditiously trend up your financial health in light of COVID-19. This final step is arguably the most important. You can take all the right strategic and operational steps in the world but if your technology, your EHR, your core revenue processing mechanisms and staff aren’t aligned, you’ll inevitably see and experience subpar results. The simple fact is, there are things you should have done yesterday, things you should be doing right now, and things you’ll need to continue to do, monitor, and improve in the future.

Plan Now for New Electronic ADT Notification Requirements

New Requirements

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) final Interoperability and Patient Access Rule creates a new Condition of Participation (CoP) that requires hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, and Critical Access Hospitals to share electronic Admission, Discharge, Transfer (ADT) event notifications with other providers and systems so that providers including post-acutes have at their disposal the most up-to-date and accurate information about their patients as it relates to admissions and ED visits. The compliance requirement goes into effect May 1, 2021 and CMS will begin enforcement of the requirements on July 1, 2021.

Automating Cloud Services to Meet Security and Compliance

With close to 90% of enterprises adopting a Cloud-first approach, the Cloud has become the obvious choice for rolling out business applications. As IT’s focus shifts from technology provider to service provider not only does their role change but the need for automation also increases. New services must be delivered on demand and at the speed of business. To meet these demands DevOps and service automation are a central part of a sound Cloud strategy.

In a time of upheaval and innovation for healthcare, organizations cannot accept the status quo from their systems and are turning to partners like Healthcare Triangle to help them manage support for their EHR and other clinical and revenue cycle applications.

Data Analytics and Data Science for LifeSciences in the Cloud

Problem statement for the industry

Pharma companies are pursuing the ultimate moonshot goal of changing the way medicines are developed so the right treatment can be delivered to the right patient at the right time. Thus, enabling the delivery of highly personalized healthcare, which effects the Pharma, Life Science and Healthcare verticals.

Secure & Compliant Infrastructure On-demand for Pharma & Life Sciences in the Cloud

Secure and compliant Infrastructure is one of the fundamental requirements for Pharma and life Sciences companies in the cloud. These industries require scalable compute and storage capabilities to run advanced algorithms and processes to tabulate drug and reagent performance, to increase the overall drug efficacy. The Infrastructure must be GxP and HITRUST certified to ensure developed drugs can pass regulatory approvals. This is required for the delivery of highly personalized healthcare, improving the quality of evidence collected from Real-World Data and enhancing the Pharmacovigilance (Drug Safety) aspect of drug development and research.

Interoperability

Interoperability – Get your head in the cloud

Healthcare organizations have tools available on the cloud to solve the toughest healthcare processes, and more tools are introduced every day. It all comes down to envisioning a better process and identifying the data needed at what point in the process to make your workflow intuitive – both on screen and to the clinicians and patients.
