New York, NY, Feb. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- ComplyAssistant and PHIflow today announced a collaborative partnership to provide healthcare covered entities (CEs) with a comprehensive solution for the management of their HIPAA business associates (BAs).
On the heels of the Office for Civil Rights’ conclusion of an all-time record year for HIPAA enforcement, BA risk management continues to be a top priority for CEs. The combination of ComplyAssistant’s premier Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solution and PHIflow’s Business Associate Agreement (BAA) Analytics Platform uniquely cover all aspects of BA management. “We are thrilled to partner with PHIflow to streamline BA audits while automating the review and management of BAAs,” says Gerry Blass, CEO of ComplyAssistant.
To date, a large number of healthcare data breaches have been caused by BAs and BAAs often are missing or never executed. The ComplyAssistant and PHIflow combined solution make it easy for CEs to manage a potentially large number of BAs by reducing breach related risks and helping to ensure compliance. “This partnership is a perfect fit,” says Greg Waldstreicher, CEO, PHIflow. “It covers the legal, compliance and regulatory components of BAA management along with the due diligence aspect of BA risk monitoring.”
