Compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) cannot be achieved by implementing policies and procedures alone. It is an ongoing process requiring not only knowledge of the regulations but also a complete understanding of the flow of patient information within your organization. Employees need repeated education and management needs to know that policies and procedures are being followed.

Simione Consultants, LLC has developed a comprehensive and effective approach to HIPAA Implementation and Compliance. Our program was created by a team of experienced individuals representing homecare and hospice operations, finance, information technology and healthcare law.
