New York, NY, Feb. 24, 2003
MedAbiliti (Bloomberg: 202163Z EQUITY) today announced a complete HIPAA solutions package that includes HIPAA compliance assessment, documentation, implementation, and legal review.
To provide this service, MedAbiliti announced it will be working with Spherion Corporation, for nationwide staffing needs, and the Law Offices of Hollander and Company LLC as counsel, to assist and advise MedAbiliti's ongoing legal HIPAA review process."The complexity of HIPAA involves both physical and virtual security expertise, as well as technical and legal skills, and that means working with companies with specialized expertise," said Nicolas Richards, CEO of MedAbiliti. The company specializes in HIPAA compliance, security, and custom software solutions for the health care industry.
"Our goal was to offer our clients the ease and security of a one-stop HIPAA solution, from risk assessment to HIPAA legal review. By means of our work with Spherion Corporation and Hollander and Company LLC, MedAbiliti is now positioned to successfully provide our clients with superlative HIPAA compliance services nationwide, so they can quickly, safely and efficiently achieve and maintain full HIPAA compliance in all areas mandated. We're now able to say we're a complete HIPAA solutions provider. It's a good feeling for us as a company, and we believe it will offer peace of mind and value to our clients as well."MedAbiliti, HIPAA and security experts, assess a covered entity's needs, evaluate potential risks with business needs and costs of implementation, and then recommend and implement security, privacy and code solutions in harmony with HIPAA rules, with documentation of all steps taken and the reasons for them. The Law Offices of Hollander and Company LLC, a law firm specializing in technology law, will then bring its 20 years of legal experience to bear and review and advise MedAbiliti on the legal aspects of its compliance program documentation for consistency with established government standards. Spherion will provide HIPAA-trained specialists under MedAbiliti oversight, on an as-needed basis.
"Legal review is vital for any company or practice group wishing to verify its compliance stance," Richards says. "Having a legal resource like Hollander and Company LLC will enhance MedAbiliti's capacity to create programs that will meet government standards in this fast moving field as those standards are applied and interpreted over time.""I am also excited to be working with such a large organization as Spherion Corporation, because it greatly extends MedAbiliti's reach. Our company is growing fast, but we are very gratified to have Spherion's staffing capabilities to ensure that we can pool our expertise to meet the HIPAA needs of our clients in a timely manner anywhere, on any scale," Richards adds. "Now we can get our HIPAA-trained people on-site anywhere quickly thanks to the global reach of Spherion."
