The Solutions Team (TST) and Medical Risk Institute (MRI) Partner to Launch First-Ever IT Service Offering to Guarantee 99% HIPAA Compliance for Healthcare Organizations
For the first time in HIPAA’s history, healthcare organizations can ensure they comply with changing state and federal patient privacy laws and are safe from risk of violations and fines
JACKSON, Miss. - The Solutions Team, a national IT managed services provider, has partnered with Medical Risk Institute, a leader in protecting medical practices from liability risks, to launch the first-ever IT service offering to guarantee 99% HIPAA compliance for healthcare organizations. The service, Med-Protect, combines TST’s technical know-how and MRI’s patient privacy expertise to ensure providers are complying with changing federal and state patient privacy laws and are safe from risk of violations and fines.
Med-Protect is the first-and-only service, since the inception of HIPAA, to combine IT expertise, legal counsel, employee training, and policy implementation to create a one-stop-shop for healthcare providers seeking a complete solution for patient privacy and data security.
“I am ecstatic about this service and its potential for revolutionizing the way healthcare entities navigate the perils of the HIPAA minefield,” said Todd Gooden, Founder and CEO of The Solutions Team. “Med-Protect will be particularly advantageous to smaller healthcare practices that face the same regulatory environment as large health systems but lack the counsel of in-house attorneys and robust IT departments. I have been in this business for three decades, and I am certain that Med-Protect is a healthcare administrator’s best option for keeping their practice HIPAA compliant and their patient data safe.”
Mike Sacopulos, CEO of Medical Risk Institute says HIPAA compliance in the 21st century requires both legal and IT expertise. “Knowing the proper policies and procedures to implement is just one piece of the puzzle,” he said. “Knowledge around the IT infrastructure that triggers protection under the HIPAA Safe Harbor Act of 2021 is equally if not more critical.”
Sacopulos said while HIPAA laws are always changing, and protecting your practice can be an overwhelming undertaking, the sooner you ‘dig in’ and chart a course for navigating these rough waters the better off you will be. “For a surprisingly low monthly rate, Med-Protect will cover all the bases for a practice administrator – and give them peace of mind they will always be current with the latest changes in the law. This is no small feat - as 350 pages of changes to patient privacy at the federal level are expected to be released later this year.”
