HITECH Act

Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for HITECH?

HITECH raised the stakes for HIPAA non-compliance with tiered penalties up to $1.9M per violation and mandatory breach notification requirements. As a business associate, your service providers are now directly liable.

1. Business Associate Accountability

As your MSP/MSSP, we are directly subject to HITECH’s business associate requirements. We maintain the security controls, training, and documentation that demonstrate our compliance—because your risk is our risk.

2. Breach Notification Infrastructure

HITECH requires notification within 60 days of discovery. Our incident response process includes rapid breach assessment, scope determination, HHS reporting preparation, and individual notification support—all with documented timelines.

3. Enhanced Penalty Awareness

HITECH’s tiered penalty structure means willful neglect carries the highest fines. We ensure your controls are not just present but operationally effective, moving you into the lowest penalty tier should an incident occur.

4. Meaningful Use Security Requirements

For organizations participating in Medicare/Medicaid incentive programs, HITECH-aligned security is a prerequisite. We implement the risk analysis and security controls that satisfy both HITECH and meaningful use requirements.

5. Audit Trail Integrity

HITECH strengthened requirements for accounting of disclosures. We maintain comprehensive audit trails for all PHI access, ensuring you can demonstrate exactly who accessed what, when, and why.
