HIPAA Security Risk Assessment

Meaningful Use Core Measure #15 – Perform a Security Risk Assessment of your EHR system – is one of the most misunderstood of the 15 Stage 1 Meaningful Use core measures. Simply answering ‘Yes we have performed a Security Risk Assessment’ does not satisfy the requirement. You must not only perform the SRA, but you must also develop a prioritized plan for addressing security risks, demonstrate progress on that plan and integrate the SRA into your practice’s Policies & Procedures.

Many practices don’t realize the depth of analysis and solutions required prior to getting into the Meaningful Use attestation process. Furthermore, they don’t have the resources, knowledge or tools to perform a thorough Security Risk Assessment. If it’s discovered that a provider is not in compliance with Measure 15, they run the risk of an audit, possible penalties or corrective action costs. Don’t let this happen to you!
