Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

HIPAA rules and regulations must be followed to avoid serious consequences. HIPAA is not just for hospitals and medical practices, but are important for the suppliers to these medical facilities that may have access to the data as well. IT companies that have medical practices as clients will most likely quickly discover that the supplier must be HIPAA compliant as well.

Kirkpatrick Law can help IT service providers understand its oblications with respect to HIPAA and draft documentation to demonstrate compliance that will be demanded by the law and of its medical clientele. 

Kirkpatrick Law can also draft an information security program for a business that needs to demonstrate how it is complant and what physical, technical, and administrative safeguards are in place to protect covered information. Additionally, Kirkpatrick Law can draft updated policies and procedures to meet the current legal requirements.
