Televoi, a North Canton, OH-based IT services and IT consulting company, has recently been confirmed as having taken all necessary steps to achieve and maintain compliance with the regulatory standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.

Televoi is a managed service provider that offers IT support services, VOIP phone services, website design and support, hardware sales and implementation, IT network support, cloud support, data backup, and IT consulting services for companies in many industry sectors, including healthcare. The nature of the services provided by Televoi means the company comes into contact with sensitive healthcare data classed as protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA. That means Televoi is a business associate under HIPAA and is required to be HIPAA compliant.

To ensure compliance with all the regulatory standards of HIPAA and the HITECH Act, Televoi partnered with Compliancy Group and adopted the company’s proven HIPAA compliance methodology, and tracked progress on its compliance journey using Compliancy Group’s HIPAA compliance software – The Guard. Using The Guard, Televoi was able to methodically ensure compliance with all appropriate provisions of the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Breach Notification, and Omnibus Rules.

Compliancy Group’s methodology includes a 6-stage risk analysis and remediation process, and after completion, Televoi’s good faith effort to achieve compliance was assessed by Compliancy Group’s HIPAA subject matter experts, who verified HIPAA and HITECH Act compliance and awarded Televoi the HIPAA Seal of Compliance.

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