Compliancy Group has announced that Miiskin has taken all necessary steps to prove its good faith effort to achieve compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Rules.

Miiskin is an app and teledermatology platform provider whose solution is currently used by more than 500,000 individuals around the world to track skin changes. The smartphone-based app empowers users to closely monitor the health of their sin and provide their physicians with essential health information during check-up appointments.

The platform uses the latest machine learning, computer-vision and augmented reality to empower users to identify new moles and perform self-examinations to determine changes to existing moles and accelerate diagnosis of skin cancer.

Since the app is used to collect, store, and transmit protected health information, Miiskin is classed as a business associate and is required to comply with certain provisions of the HIPAA Rules.

To ensure that the platform and Miiskin’s policies and procedures were fully compliant with the HIPAA Rules, the company partnered with Compliancy Group. Using Compliancy Group’s proven HIPAA compliance methodology, and tracking progress toward HIPAA compliance using Compliancy Group’s proprietary HIPAA solution (The Guard), Miiskin successfully demonstrated the company was in compliance with all appropriate provisions of the HIPAA Rules.

“Compliancy Group’s process was much simpler and quicker than I expected. As a SaaS provider, that doesn’t work with paper PHI, the process was further simplified. Their guided support gave me confidence in my compliance – especially as a European company, with no prior HIPAA knowledge. I couldn’t find anything about the process, or the materials, that I disliked,” said Jon Friis, founder of Miiskin.

After completing Compliancy Group’s 6-stage risk analysis and remediation process, the company’s good faith effort toward HIPAA compliance was assessed and Compliancy Group awarded Miiskin the HIPAA Seal of Compliance.

The HIPAA Seal of Compliance demonstrates to current and future clients and app users that the company is committed to ensuring the privacy and security of protected health information and has implemented an effective HIPAA compliance program.

Compliancy Group has confirmed that Warwick, Rhode Island-based Brightside Behavioral Health has implemented an effective HIPAA compliance program.

Brightside Behavioral Health provides high quality behavioral health services to support individuals and families in Rhode Island communities through awareness, education, and the treatment of behavioral health issues.

As a provider of mental health services, Brightside Behavioral Health is required to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Rules.  The HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules limit uses and disclosures of protected health information and require all HIPAA-covered entities and business associates to implement safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI. PHI is any demographic healthcare-related information that can be used to identify a patient.

“We work very hard to provide the best mental healthcare services to our clients and a part of that is to do everything we can to protect our client’s personal healthcare information,” said Brightside Behavioral Health Clinical Director Hallie Fleischman. “Our team at Brightside Behavioral Health considers HIPAA to be a critical best practice. We can only provide the highest quality of healthcare to our clients when implementing and practicing HIPAA guidelines.”

Establishing and maintaining an effective HIPAA compliance program can be a challenge for healthcare providers and their business associates, and many choose to seek assistance from third-party compliance experts to ensure they are fully compliant with all provisions of the HIPAA Rules.

Compliancy Group simplifies HIPAA compliance to allow healthcare professions to confidently run their practice. Compliancy Group has developed a proven, easy to follow HIPAA compliance methodology and clients are able to track their progress toward compliance using Compliancy Group’s compliance tracking software, The Guard.

“Within our organization we strive to provide the highest quality of mental healthcare. We do this by partnering with likeminded mental healthcare providers and by establishing a best practices culture,” said Fleischman. “HIPAA was established to protect personal healthcare information and we take this very seriously. We reached out to Compliancy Group to help us incorporate a best practice, that when followed provides the best security and privacy we can provide to our clients.”

After completing Compliancy Group’s Six Stage Implementation Program and implementing best practices to ensure continued compliance, Compliancy Group awarded Brightside Behavioral Health the HIPAA Seal of Compliance.

The HIPAA Seal of Compliance demonstrates to current and future Brightside Behavioral Health clients that the practice is committed to ensuring the privacy and security of their protected health information and helps the practice differentiate its services.

To ensure that no aspect of HIPAA compliance was missed and to verify existing policies and procedures were fully compliant with the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Omnibus, and Breach Notification Rules and the requirements of the HITECH Act, KeyReply partnered with Compliancy Group.

KeyReply used Compliancy Group’s proven 6-Stage HIPAA risk analysis and remediation process and tracked its progress using “The Guard” HIPAA compliance tracking software, assisted along the way by Compliancy Group’s HIPAA compliance coaches.

After successfully completing the process, KeyReply’s good faith effort towards HIPAA compliance was assessed by Compliancy Group’s HIPAA compliance subject matter experts and the company was awarded the HIPAA Seal of Compliance.

The HIPAA Seal of Compliance demonstrates JCMC’s commitment to ensuring patient privacy and securing health data.

Daisee, an acronym of Deep Artificial Intelligence for Enterprise Ecosystem, was founded in 2017 and operates globally, including in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.

“The solution has the unique ability to automatically analyze and dynamically score 100% of customer interactions identifying issues that require human intervention. This is achieved using a patent-pending, automated, digital quality scorecard framework against the most important elements of each interaction.”

When the solution is used by U.S. healthcare organizations, it is possible that it comes into contact with PHI, which means Daisee acts in the capacity of a business associate and must therefore comply with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

To ensure Daisee was fully compliant with all appropriate provisions of the HIPAA Rules, the company partnered with Compliance Group.  Daisee used Compliancy Group’s compliance tracking software solution (The Guard) and its Implementation Program to ensure the company was in compliance with the regulatory standards governing the security, privacy, and integrity of sensitive healthcare data.
