The Security Rule Under HITECH: a Business Associate's Perspective
The First Edition of this "how to" guide for business associates is now available on the HSG Store. A Kindle version will be available soon.
The following is an abstract:
The most important step for building a “good SR compliance story” is for the business associate to get started. The approach recommended herein is to build the story iteratively over time. Most business associates (large or small) will likely need help in creating the story. Getting started in the wrong direction initially could be far more costly in the long run, since much of the compliance budget may simply be wasted. The framework discussed throughout this document provides a good road map to follow.
