Education
 

Learn what you need to know to become compliant.  Instead of just restating the federal rules, THE MARBLEHEAD GROUP walks your organization through them and teaches you what they really mean.  We read between the lines and help you relate the rules to your own organization's practices.  In that way, you can clearly see the issues and the impact.

Get the foundation you need for successful HIPAA compliance by learning the difference between privacy and security, discovering what industry expectations and international security standards are, and what common privacy and security terms mean.

 

Risk Assessment

 

 

 

 

Peter Drucker said, "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." Organizations need to see the whole picture of work to be done before plunging ahead and suffering tunnel vision.  A solid plan lets you prioritize, schedule resources, and track progress to completion - with confidence that you'll make your deadlines.

So how do you get a plan like that?  THE MARBLEHEAD GROUP performs privacy and security risk assessments (with a gap analysis) for its clients, which form the basis of a workplan.   This will show you where your organization is deficient - both in terms of containment of threats and vulnerabilities to protected information, and in terms of compliance with regulatory requirements.  Those deficiencies become the target of the tasks comprising your workplan.

 

Project Management
 

THE MARBLEHEAD GROUP helps organizations define new roles and responsibilities to prepare you to address the project workplan.   We will develop the project workplan or assist you in that effort. We provide project management expertise to keep everyone on track.  We provide HIPAA and healthcare expertise to clarify HIPAA intent at a detailed level.  And we use our extensive background in this niche to help you identify cost-effective, efficient, and compliant solutions.

 

Implementation
 

THE MARBLEHEAD GROUP provides guidance to your staff, or directly performs tasks on your workplan if you choose.  We do this in such areas as development of policies, forms, procedures, technical standards, and security RFPs if you are considering new systems.  Our services can also include preparing your workforce education strategies and content, and providing training.

 

Compliance Evaluation
 
HIPAA's security rule requires periodic evaluations - or compliance
audits - of your security program.  This is not just necessary for regulatory compliance, but it is also good business practice to ensure your investment in security is fruitful.  A compliance audit is an opportunity to formally evaluate the effectiveness of your security controls.  THE MARBLEHEAD GROUP examines your current security posture and compares it to your policies and standards, as well as to regulatory requirements and international information security best practices.  We bring an objective and expert perspective to confirm your program's strengths.   And we identify weaknesses so your organization can address them before they lead to problems.
