Important HIPAA-Compliant Practices
A longtime healthcare executive with considerable experience in
the United States and India, Ashok Bagdy currently serves as the
vice president of outsourcing services with Cameo Corporate
Services in Tampa. In this capacity, Ashok Bagdy oversees all
aspects of the company’s outsourcing division and works hard to
ensure HIPAA compliance among all affiliated organizations.
When it comes to HIPAA compliance, there are a number of best
practices that every Covered Entity and Business Associate
should keep in mind. First of all, employees must receive regular
training on the handling of protected health information (PHI).
Workers must also avoid sharing sensitive PHI with unauthorized
individuals and accessing patient information without an
immediate work-related need or express written consent from the
patient. In terms of physical security, closing computer programs
with PHI displayed when not in use can prevent breaches.
Similarly, staff members should minimize email transmissions of
PHI and store PHI in a HIPAA-compliant cloud server.
