Dashboard: The dashboard is your ultimate progress and support tool featuring progress reports for each section, a tutorial and a link to the support team. At any time while using the HIPAAgps platform, you can click and go to your dashboard to gage where you are at on the road to completing HIPAAgps. You can see your overall percentage of completion for the entire platform and the percentages for each section.
Risk Assessment: Our Risk Assessment tool combines close to 500 questions, based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) assessment, with several additional guidance features to help your organization get on the path to HIPAA compliance. Assessment features include: instructional statements that simplify wordiness and jargon, recommendations on best practices, policy and procedure templates, outside resources and question support. With our intuitive design, the assessment forms a clear list of tasks for you to review and complete as you see fit. Also, when you upload a required document to the assessment, that document will show complete and be ready for use in other sections of the HIPAAgps tool.
Policies and Procedures: Our Policies and Procedures section provides a list of required documents, file storage, version control and starter templates. HIPAA, like many government rulings with documentation requirements, holds fast to the statement: “If it’s not in writing, it didn’t happen.” To help your organization easily abide by this standard, we provide a place for you to store your HIPAA policies, procedures, plans, lists, training documents and inventories. Our tool keeps track of each time you upload a new, revised document to help you meet the HIPAA review-and-update standards. We also provide many required-document templates for you to download and mold to fit your organization. As mentioned before, the Policies and Procedures documentation syncs with the Risk Assessment and the Employee Training tool.
Employee Training: Our Employee Training Tool sets the foundation for your organization to start meeting the HIPAA Security Awareness and Training requirements. With our tool, you can create employee profiles; have your employees train on basic HIPAA standards through our educational videos; assign your policies, procedures and training documents to track your employees’ in-house training; and monitor task progress and completion. The tool’s educational videos inform your employees of what HIPAA is, why it’s important and how it applies to them. We give a breakdown of HIPAA standards, practical advice, real-world examples, and quizzes to test their understanding, and provide a base for your organization to build on with more in-depth, role-specific HIPAA training.
Business Associate Agreements: Our Business Associate Agreements tool is simple to use and helps you meet the HIPAA associate contract standards. With our tool, you can make profiles for each of your business associates, create their specific contract, send it to them for an e-signature, get a signed copy back, store it and then make updates as needed. We also provide a business associate agreement example to help guide you when creating your contracts for each associate. In a few clicks, you can have your BAAs signed and stored for your records.
Resources: The Resources section provides several additional informational sources and services. We provide best practices recommendations, links to outside HIPAA resources and HIPAA news. You can also find more document templates that are required by HIPAA standards but cannot be stored anywhere in the HIPAAgps platform because they will contain PHI once you fill them out. The Resources section also includes special technical service packages provided by MainNerve for your organization to use to help you meet the many technical HIPAA requirements, like vulnerability scans and penetration testing.
