| MedQuist provides technical controls and safeguards that support its clients’ compliance policies and procedures. Although HIPAA compliance is the responsibility of every healthcare organization, MedQuist is dedicated to ensuring that its products and services make it easier for them to reach that goal.
MedQuist has also established a corporate Department of Information Security and HIPAA Compliance led by a corporate director to facilitate and manage the information security needs of its clients. The director’s role includes these responsibilities:
Implement corporate privacy and security policies, and ensure effective corporate-wide privacy and security awareness
Validate that current operational and technical business practices ensure the privacy and security of protected health information
Develop, implement and monitor a privacy and security awareness, education and training program, as well as a compliance program
Assist our clients in the ongoing process of negotiating and finalizing the required business associate agreements
Going forward, MedQuist’s guiding principle is to make every reasonable effort to be knowledgeable and responsive regarding any changes in the Final Privacy Rule and Security Rule, and to act as a compliant Business Associate.
