Nelson Mullins Announces Automated Tool For HIPAA Compliance

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP announced today the introduction of HIPAA2Z™, the beginning-to-end, automated solution for HIPAA privacy and security compliance. Designed by Nelson Mullins Nashville Partner and a former Chief Privacy Officer, Roy Wyman, together with security professionals, and using cutting-edge technology, HIPAA2Z™ provides a flat-fee, one-stop compliance tool for healthcare providers, vendors and other businesses that handle health information.

"By combining security and legal services, HIPAA2Z™ offers everything you need to know, and do, to comply with HIPAA and to be more secure in handling data," said Wyman, who is also a member of the firm's Healthcare Regulatory and Transactional Team and deals extensively with healthcare IT issues. "By standardizing and automating HIPAA compliance, we reduce the cost, hassle and time required to feel confident about protecting health information and complying with the law."

With an uptick in cyber-related risks and security needs, as well as enforcement actions and suits, it is crucial for all healthcare providers and vendors to take every step they need to ensure the privacy of patient data.

Healthcare businesses often work with a variety of different consultants, risk managers, attorneys and related parties to separately understand, navigate and adhere to HIPAA policies and procedures, making the process extremely lengthy and costly.

HIPAA2Z™ streamlines the compliance process, and intersects with a company's current compliance efforts, by providing a customized risk assessment, management plan and other tools to ensure that documents adhere to the law and that providers and vendors are secure and compliant.

"As a firm, we are proud to bridge the gap between the law, technology and healthcare by creating a tool that simplifies HIPAA compliance," said Nelson Mullins Partners and Healthcare Team Leads, Gabriel Imperato and Thomas Moran. "HIPAA2Z™ is another step to keep Nelson Mullins in the lead in using technology to assist clients. Our goal is to increase efficiencies, lower costs, keep our clients out of the courtroom and eliminate fines and liabilities for HIPAA-related misconduct, violations or breaches of contracts."
