While institutional pharmacy providers are experienced in the physical security required for pharmacy operation, the sheer volume and complexity of both electronic and paper data exchanges are much more difficult to control, and therefore make these organizations more vulnerable to security threats and ultimately more susceptible to non-compliance fines and penalties.
Yet it can be very difficult to manage HIPAA security requirements and still run your business effectively, since most pharmacy providers simply do not have resources that can be dedicated to research, implement and oversee the numerous and complex federal and state statutes, security best practices and emerging threats. In response, many institutional pharmacy providers have partnered with BlueOrange Compliance to help them turn HIPAA complexity into HIPAA compliance.
