Medical Practices & Healthcare Offices — Tampa Bay

A HIPAA audit isn't about whether you treat patients well. It's about whether your IT systems protect their records.

Most healthcare practices we assess have PHI on devices that haven't had a security review in years — shared workstations without session timeouts, medical software running without patches, and no documented risk assessment. OCR doesn't care how good your clinical outcomes are. The average HIPAA fine for small practices is $100,000. The cost of preventing it is a fraction of that.

What OCR examiners look for in small healthcare practices:

No documented HIPAA risk assessment
HIPAA requires an annual risk analysis identifying where PHI lives and how it's protected — most small practices have never formally documented one
Shared workstations without session timeouts
Exam room computers and check-in stations left logged in are a common HIPAA gap — automatic session timeouts and unique user accounts are required
No Business Associate Agreements for IT vendors
Any vendor that touches PHI — including your IT support — must have a signed BAA. Missing BAAs are one of the most cited HIPAA deficiencies
