Multi-level approach to benefit-specific client needs
NORWELL, MA - (April 11, 2002) - Health care organizations now have access to a line of flexible HIPAA solutions from Beacon Partners aimed at providing the appropriate level of support needed by organizations working to comply with the provisions of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) privacy and security regulations. Recognizing that different organizations have differing consulting needs and budgets, Beacon offers three levels of HIPAA consulting services.
The mandates of HIPAA are a reality, with definitive deadlines for compliance, and most organizations have begun to take seriously the need for comprehensive plans for that compliance. Beacon created its line of customizable solutions to support organizations wanting to complete HIPAA assessments and remediation with internal resources, while retaining access to Beacon’s expertise and experience. Clients purchase only as much consulting support as they need to supplement their own compliance efforts. Beacon’s offerings include:
- Project Management - Client HIPAA team performs gap and risk assessment with Beacon project manager directing their efforts.
- Project Facilitator - Beacon consultant participates as a member of the client’s HIPAA team, directing efforts while working side-by-side with client’s own personnel at the detail level.
- HIPAA Connect (sm) Services - Beacon consultants are available to answer client-specific, detailed HIPAA-related questions by telephone, e-mail or in person. Clients may present questions about privacy, security, transactions, or legal issues and receive response from a single consultant or in a conference call format with the entire Beacon HIPAA team.
“While we have seen an increased interest in requests for our services, clients want to be actively involved in HIPAA assessments, remediation, and compliance,” says Ralph Fargnoli, President & CEO of Beacon Partners. “We believe our flexible HIPAA services will augment and strengthen the client’s HIPAA team for best practices and better outcomes. Our clients know that HIPAA is a business opportunity, and they need consulting assistance focusing on knowledge transfer. This approach allows the client to take the reigns, while knowing they can rely on Beacon’s HIPAA expertise. This partnership approach for consulting is a Beacon Partners trademark.”
