HIPAA compliance for hospitals & health systems

Multi-site, multi-EHR, thousands of workforce members, and a vendor estate nobody has fully inventoried.

Administrative safeguards Physical safeguards Technical safeguards Privacy rule Breach notification

Multi-site, multi-EHR, thousands of workforce members, and a vendor estate nobody has fully inventoried.

What usually goes wrong

  • Departmental scope: clinical, imaging, labs, revenue cycle, research
  • Legacy systems that cannot support MFA and need documented compensating controls
  • Affiliated physician groups and OHCA arrangements
  • Medical device fleets on flat networks
  • Workforce turnover outpacing training completion

What SuperHIPAA does about it

  • Entity and department hierarchy with delegated ownership
  • HRIS-synced training so turnover does not break your records
  • Device and asset inventory with ePHI classification
  • Vendor and BAA program across hundreds of suppliers

Your obligations in one paragraph

As a covered entity, you must conduct an accurate and thorough risk analysis, implement the required Security Rule specifications (and either implement or document a rationale for each addressable one), maintain policies and procedures, train your workforce, execute business associate agreements with everyone who touches ePHI on your behalf, and be able to detect, assess, and report breaches. All of it must be evidenced. None of it is a one-time project.

Where most hospitals & health systems actually stand

The pattern we see in this vertical: policies exist, training happens sporadically, BAAs are partially in place, and the risk analysis is either missing or several years stale. That last one is the finding that turns an incident into a penalty, because it is the first document OCR requests.

Getting started

  1. Free readiness assessment — scored report, no call required
  2. Gap assessment — if the score shows real exposure
  3. Implementation — we fix it with you, or hand your team the plan
  4. Platform — keeps it true after we leave

Start where you are

Take the free readiness assessment — 24 questions, about eight minutes, no call required. You get a scored report identifying which required specifications you are missing and what to fix first. If it turns out you are further along than you thought, we will tell you that too.

Questions

Are hospitals & health systems covered entities or business associates?

Typically **Covered Entity**. It matters because it changes which obligations are yours directly and which flow through a BAA. The readiness assessment determines your scope in the first three questions.

How long does it take to get compliant?

For an organisation starting from near zero, 8–12 weeks to a defensible position: risk analysis complete, required safeguards implemented, policies live, workforce trained. Anyone promising two weeks is selling you a certificate.

What does it cost?

Platform starts at a published monthly price — see pricing. Services are fixed-fee. There is no 'contact us for a quote' wall on this site.

Do you replace our IT provider?

No. We tell your IT provider exactly what to configure and then verify they did it.

How does this work across multiple facilities or legal entities?

One workspace, multiple entities: each facility gets its own risk register and evidence, while system-wide policies are managed once with local addenda where practice genuinely differs.

What about privileged physicians who are not our employees?

HIPAA's workforce definition covers anyone under your direct control, so privileged non-employed clinicians still need training and access controls on your systems. The platform tracks their acknowledgements alongside employed staff.

How do we handle networked biomedical devices in the risk analysis?

Infusion pumps, monitors, and imaging gear hold ePHI and often cannot take an agent or a patch. The risk analysis addresses them through inventory, network segmentation, and documented compensating controls — which is what §164.308 actually asks for.

We already run an enterprise GRC tool — why switch?

If it works for you, keep it. Teams come to us when HIPAA is bolted onto a generic framework without citation-level mapping, and nobody can answer which specification a control satisfies or where the evidence is.
