Who We Serve
HIPAA Compliance for Surgical Practices
Surgical practices exchange PHI with more parties than most outpatient settings: referring physicians, imaging centers, hospitals and surgery centers, anesthesia groups, device representatives, and billing services.
The situation
Each of those exchanges is a point where records can be sent to the wrong place, accessed by the wrong person, or shared without the right agreement in place. Scheduling and pre-operative communication add more channels, often including text and email.
We map how PHI actually flows through your surgical workflow and help you put controls, agreements, and documentation around each step.
