ATMP Solutions provides our clients with HIPAA certified and Healthcare Industry recognized talent. Since the passage of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) Act was passed in 1996, organizations, large and small, that serve Healthcare clients have adopted processes and safeguards to ensure the privacy and security of their customer’s Protected Health Information. HIPAA's privacy and security rules established a baseline of confidentiality and security protections for patients' demographic and health information in all forms—paper, oral, and electronic. The evolution of health information technology has resulted in additional risks. The HITECH Act, adopted in 2009, builds on the privacy and security rules and criteria to further address these new risks and define the responsibilities of Business Associates. With the passage of the HITECH, additional emphasis was placed on the responsibility of Business Associates, who on behalf of their customers, utilize and have visibility to Electronic Protected Health Information to insure that the data is held safe and secure. A Business Associate Agreement is no longer viewed as a complete attestation of compliance. Healthcare entities have begun placing more responsibility on Business Associates to prove their HIPAA Compliance.
