Frequently Asked Questions About HIPAA Compliance
What is the difference between the HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule? The Privacy Rule governs the use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI) in any form. The Security Rule specifically addresses the protection of electronic PHI (ePHI) through administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
How often should we update our risk analysis? A risk analysis should be performed initially and then reviewed and updated at least annually or whenever significant changes occur to your systems, workflows, or threats.
Do small medical practices in Tennessee need to comply with all these safeguards? Yes. The Security Rule applies to all covered entities regardless of size. However, the “reasonable and appropriate” standard allows flexibility based on your organization’s size, complexity, and risk profile.
What happens if we experience a breach? You must notify affected individuals, HHS, and in some cases the media, within required timeframes. Tennessee also has its own data breach notification law. Having documented policies and a tested incident response plan is essential.
Can Solomon IT act as our Business Associate? Yes. We sign Business Associate Agreements and implement the technical and administrative safeguards necessary to protect the ePHI we access or manage on your behalf.
Is encryption required under HIPAA? Encryption is an addressable implementation specification under transmission security and access control. While not strictly mandatory in every case, it is widely considered a best practice and is often required to meet the “reasonable and appropriate” standard for protecting ePHI.
