HIPAA Review
This remote review is specifically designed for the dental practice environment and is typically completed within 1–2 days. It includes the following components:
HIPAA Awareness Video & On-Demand Training
SafeLink equips your team with both a high-level HIPAA awareness video and access to an on-demand training module designed specifically for dental practices. The awareness video explains how HIPAA applies to your business model in simple, practical terms. Employees can then reinforce that knowledge through interactive online training at their own pace. Each training includes built-in knowledge checks, certificates of completion, and documentation to demonstrate compliance.
Gap Analysis Review
SafeLink delivers a high-level HIPAA Gap Analysis that compares your current practices against federal HIPAA requirements and industry best practices. This analysis highlights areas of compliance strength, identifies weaknesses, and prioritizes corrective actions.
Privacy Risk Review
Our consultants conduct a remote HIPAA Privacy Risk Review to help your dental practice understand where privacy risks may exist in your current processes. We assess how PHI is collected, used, and shared, and identify any gaps that could expose your practice to compliance violations.
Security Risk Review
SafeLink's Security Risk Review evaluates your technical and administrative safeguards to ensure electronic PHI (ePHI) is properly protected. We examine areas such as access controls, password practices, data encryption, and system security.
HIPAA Documentation Review
Our team reviews any HIPAA policies, procedures, and written documentation you currently have in place. We verify whether they meet federal requirements and align with best practices for dental practices, ensuring your compliance documentation is complete, accurate, and audit-ready.
