Two Schools Of Thought
Regarding Who Performs
Your Risk Analysis:
Check The Box for Meaningful Use / MIPS
- MIPS requires a Security Risk Analysis. If your goal is to "check the box," then any Risk Analysis will do.
- There is no law about who should conduct your Risk Analysis.
- You can even do your own Risk Analysis (SPOILER ALERT: It's NOT easy, and it takes a LONG time).
Identify Any Gaps In Your Current Security
- Find every single gap. Educate yourself about the risks. Close them ASAP.
- Are you sure you found every gap? Will you find them on your own? Do you think your IT company will want to tell you about gaps in their security?
- Remember, the main thing is to PREVENT a breach!
It's the difference between
these two diagnostic tests.
X-Ray
- X-Ray is sufficient for a lot of situations.
- Diagnoses made from X-Ray images in bony tissues can be accurate, but lesions involving soft tissues should be evaluated with different methods.
MRI
- Detailed view of most tissues in a body region.
- Diagnoses based on MRI studies are accurate for both bony and soft tissues.
Which is best for you?
It all depends on your risk tolerance.

Get an independent Risk Analysis by a new company every two years. You’re not an IT expert, and your IT company might not grade themselves as strictly as someone else. The main thing is to prevent a breach, because the risk is just too great:

Could There Be Anything Worse
Than Being Hacked?
There’s nothing worse than GETTING
HACKED.
Data Breach = FINE$
Penalties begin at $100 per record lost in a breach, and go up to $1,500,000 per year per violation category.
What Are The Penalties For HIPAA Violations?
Data Breach = Embarrassment
Yes, it happens. And when it does, it's bad. Your patients will have to be notified, and the world will know too. Take a look at this:
The biggest healthcare data breaches of 2018 (so far).
Data Breach = Doesn't Go Away
The hit to your practice's reputation combined with fines that could reach millions of dollars might just put your doctors out of business. But that's not the end of the problem: Consequences Of HIPAA Violations Don't Stop When Business Closes.
Does Our Practice Really Need

Five Steps To Risk Analysis Success
The questions in a Risk Analysis are complex.
Getting the right solution for your office shouldn’t be.
Schedule a 20 minute call with us and tell us about your practice. We’ll need to know a few things about your network size to give you a quote.
Once a decision is reached to do business with The Solutions Team, the next step is to send us the signed contract. Please allow 2-4 weeks for planning of your implementation.
There are detailed questions to ask, but we’ll help you with the process. We’ll conduct the analysis and put together a custom report for you, complete with action steps.
We’ll review your report with you, which will highlight any security areas that need attention.
Just like getting an MRI, the test itself only gives a diagnosis. It doesn’t do the work of closing any security gaps or decreasing risks. The report you will receive will identify hotspots. Document your plans to make adjustments, and document when those changes are made.
