CMPkc’s mantra is “We Understand Healthcare Marketing.” We’ve worked closely with hospitals and healthcare systems since 1985.
We thought it might be interesting for healthcare marketers to quickly read about the steps we’ve taken as a company to ensure any patient data we collect and/or receive is handled safely and securely. CMPkc takes HIPAA laws very seriously, and we know our clients are extremely concerned with the procedures we have in place to protects patients’ information.
We understand that the consequences of non-compliance with HIPAA can be severe. Covered entities and business associates that violate HIPAA can face significant fines and penalties, as well as damage to their reputation and potential legal action. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which is responsible for enforcing HIPAA, has the authority to impose significant fines and penalties for HIPAA violations, with fines ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation, up to a maximum of $1.5 million per year for each type of violation.
Below are the steps CMPkc has undertaken:
CMPkc regularly enters into Business Association Agreements with healthcare organizations to ensure we meet the standards as set forth by our hospital partners. We meet all the IT requirements, have third-party partners that ensure and maintain a secure network of any stored data on-site, train our associates, and carry all the appropriate insurances to meet your healthcare organization’s BAA requirements.
In short, CMPkc understand that HIPAA compliance is a vital aspect of our relationship with our healthcare partners and an important way to maintain our clients’ trust.
