Rita and her team empower MRO clients to enhance PHI disclosure compliance through consultative reviews of Release of Information policies and procedures, privacy reporting and analytics, and a variety of HIPAA compliance resources and tools.
HIM Policy Consulting
To ensure compliance across a health system enterprise, HIM leaders work with this team during new client onboarding processes to review, optimize and standardize HIM policies and procedures based on industry best practices.
Timely Incident Response
MRO discloses PHI with a 99.99 percent accuracy rate. However, if an incident should occur, clients can rest assured knowing our team has tools in place for timely and consistent reporting that includes details required for additional reporting, breach risk assessment or response.
Employee Compliance and Corrective Action
To address employee noncompliance, a tiered penalty structure is in place to ensure all associates are held to consistent standards and corrective action.
Closing the Compliance Gaps
Healthcare leaders who partner with MRO are confident we take necessary measures to close compliance gaps through the work of a Data Protection Steering Committee, led by Rita. To bring the highest levels of privacy, compliance and peace of mind to clients, this team:
- Performs regular environmental scans.
- Reviews reported breaches in the industry and analyzes corresponding MRO safeguards.
- Stays current on evolving federal regulations from HHS and ONC.
- Performs enterprise Risk Analyses and maintains a Risk Register.
- Implements new protocols as necessary to close gaps and lower risk.
