This program is one of our most popular offerings. A highly trained consultant will conduct an on-site session at your practice during patient care, ensuring minimal disruption while accurately assessing hazards. We evaluate all areas, including instrument flow, sterilization, treatment room preparation, and infection control protocols.

The audit covers instrument processing, storage, PPE appropriateness, and quality control records such as spore testing and water monitoring. Your consultant will compare your protocols to CDC recommendations, including COVID-19 processes, and provide labels and signage as needed. The process involves 4–5 hours of observation and 3 additional hours for reporting.

The confidential report includes photos of noted violations, references to OSHA or other regulations, and a detailed work plan to address safety issues. All findings are compiled for the practice owner(s) and management.

A HIPAA Risk Assessment is required by the Department of Health and Human Services and enforced by the Office of Civil Rights. You must be prepared to submit a copy of your most recent risk assessment in the even you experience a breach. Not having a risk assessment in place is subject to fines and penalties.

One of our highly trained consultants will go through a series of questions prepared by Olivia Wann. Some of the questions can be addressed by your office manager while others are answered by your IT provider. Based on the responses, we will provide a corrective action work plan in addition to rating the responses. The threats and vulnerabilities to your data including the administrative, technical and physical safeguards in place or missing are rated low, medium and high.

We help identify your business associates and will audit any agreements in place. If an agreement is missing, we will request the BAA on your behalf. We also assist in vetting your business associates. This is all part of your required HIPAA compliance program.
