42Summary Use of an implementation partner has
distinct advantages to the organization: Available implementation tools. Proven HIPAA implementation management
methods and techniques. Regulatory subject matter expertise built
through training and experience.
![Page 43: Presented by HIPAA Pros 5th Annual HIPAA Summit Baltimore, Maryland October 31. 2002](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816339550346895dd3c966/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43Where to start? Assuming a work plan exists from the initial baseline
assessment, it is clear that providers must first address “HIGH” risk areas
“Typical” high risk areas include: Vendor readiness Health Plan directives Lack of Compliance Plan components (required) Training, training and more training Business Associates Physical Security Records management
![Page 44: Presented by HIPAA Pros 5th Annual HIPAA Summit Baltimore, Maryland October 31. 2002](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816339550346895dd3c966/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44Setting Priorities Infrastructure issues
Firewalls Protecting the network Access controls
Patient rights HIPAA is a patient-centric set of regulations
and the patient rights (Notice of Privacy Practices, handling disclosures) documentation of decisions is a critical step
![Page 45: Presented by HIPAA Pros 5th Annual HIPAA Summit Baltimore, Maryland October 31. 2002](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816339550346895dd3c966/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45Manageable “Chunks” Working in the above priorities, define chunks of tasks
that can be delegated to the work groups all designed to address the high priority areas Security in the systems: effected by decisions already
made to address the EDI concerns EDI task forces: focus is on meeting testing parameters
and assuring the system (whether computerized or manual) allows all components of your HIPAA Covered Entity to capture the required data elements
Privacy projects: awareness training, formation of compliance office, documents, management of patient rights and Business Associates
