HCIS Information Technology

Consulting Services

As a Practice manager or Physician of a small to midsized practice, you need the same services and experience as larger Corporations and Hospitals, which have fully staffed Information Technology (IT) departments supporting them. 

Let our Skilled and experienced IT Engineers manage your Technology infrastructure just as if they were on your payroll. 

Your business administration will become easier by having an independent and knowledgeable consultant guide you through complex networking issues involved with any new software or hardware deployment.

By assisting in designing a forward thinking roadmap for your current and future IT needs at the management level, we can prevent costly mistakes. Many projects are deployed without providing scalability for future necessities, we can help you plan and implement your project, while managing a plan for future growth. 

While most typical consultants monitor and manage projects remotely, we provide the skilled labor needed to perform the task to completion. 

We then take it one step further by providing continued support for your entire network, including troubleshooting and repairing onsite computers, and printers.

HCIS offers the most comprehensive Healthcare IT Solution in the industry.  Our goal is to help you plan, manage and optimize your computer equipment and business technology to get the maximum benefit from your investment.

As part of our Consulting services we can provide you with money and time saving advice.  Whether you are in need of a few minor upgrades, or a company wide system rollout, our knowledge of Healthcare Information Technology is available to you at unbeatable rates.  Our staffs of skilled technicians and engineers have extensive training and experience in this specialized field and are NOT subcontracted IT generalists, such as those hired by our competitors from firms like CDW, or PC Plus.  While these subcontractors may be experienced in Information Technology, most have little knowledge of how they are used in the Healthcare Industry.  

We can provide as much or as little support as you need, when you need it.  We offer monthly and yearly contracts, individual project contracts, or no contract at all! We can provide support as needed, paying only for the support you need.

This is an exciting time in Information Technology, especially in the Healthcare Industry.  Many analysts predict higher than fifty percent of all advances made in IT over the next fifteen years will take place in Healthcare and related fields.  At HCIS, we are truly ecstatic about our work, and we let our passion show!

HIPAA Standard: Conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information held by the covered entity.

Risk Analysis Requirements

Risk analysis is defined in the final Security Rule as follows: “Risk analysis (Required). Conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information held by the covered entity.”

This requirement is very clear: Each covered entity must conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic protected health information (ePHI). The Security Rule does not require a covered entity to perform a risk analysis with respect to paper and oral PHI: the Security Rule only applies to ePHI. However, it is important to keep in mind that § 164.530(c) of the final Privacy Rule requires that each “covered entity must have in place appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the privacy of protected health information…. A covered entity must reasonably safeguard protected health information from any intentional or unintentional use or disclosure that is in violation of the standards, implementation specifications or other requirements of this subpart.” In other words, while WEDI SNIP recognizes that the Security Rule applies only to ePHI, the Privacy Rule applies to all PHI. Accordingly, it is recommended by WEDI that the risk analysis address paper-based and oral PHI as well as ePHI.
