HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) violations can lead to significant penalties. These can range from fines for minor or unintentional violations to substantial penalties for systematic failures or willful neglect of HIPAA rules. The exact penalties can vary, depending on the nature of the violation, the harm caused, and the violator’s attempts to correct the violation. Learn more about penalties here. To mitigate the risk of a violation, and to ensure a swift and appropriate response if/when it happens, control is key. Establishing and maintaining control requires transparency, accountability, and diligence. Terlumina provides the governance framework necessary to put these principles into action.

Monitoring each and every task to completion and periodically objectively assess how you are doing. Implement corrective actions if/when necessary as tasks that are also tracked to completion. There is no easy way, but with Terlumina it finally becomes possible.
