Why Use Sourcepass for HIPAA Risk Assessments? | Managed IT Services

Why Use a Partner for HIPAA Assessments?

Unbiased Perspective on HIPAA Compliance:

Self-assessments can suffer from inherent biases, as it is challenging to have an objective view of your own practice. To ensure an effective assessment that identifies areas for improvement, engaging an independent third-party is the preferred option.

Comprehensive Scope of the Assessment:

It is essential to consider the full scope of HIPAA compliance. While electronic protected health information (ePHI) is commonly understood, other aspects, such as physical and technical safeguards, may be overlooked. Outsourcing the assessment ensures that safety measures, including security cameras, door access codes, alarm systems and more, are thoroughly evaluated.

Freedom to Focus:

By entrusting the assessment to an external provider, your internal team can maintain their focus on delivering the highest quality care to patients. With no distractions, they can dedicate their efforts entirely to their core responsibilities.

By leveraging the expertise of a third-party assessment provider, you can achieve a more impartial evaluation, comprehensive coverage of compliance requirements, and enhanced productivity within your organization.
