Not all HIPAA compliance requirements are created equal.
Small practices with limited resources may face unique HIPAA compliance challenges. However, there are a number of things that small practices can do to comply with HIPAA on a budget.
Here are some tips for HIPAA compliance for small practices with limited resources:
- Prioritize your HIPAA compliance efforts. Not all HIPAA compliance requirements are created equal. Some requirements are more important than others. Focus on complying with the most important requirements first.
- Use free and low-cost HIPAA compliance resources. There are a number of free and low-cost HIPAA compliance resources available. For example, the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) website offers a number of free HIPAA compliance resources, including HIPAA compliance guides, checklists, and training materials.
- Take advantage of HIPAA compliance discounts. Many HIPAA compliance vendors offer discounts to small businesses and nonprofits. Be sure to ask about discounts when you are shopping for HIPAA compliance solutions.
