Steps to Compliance

Assessment

First, Concordant analyzes your infrastructure profile. The review is comprehensive as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulations require healthcare organizations to examine all aspects of their operations.

The main goal is to identify and document areas within your institution's infrastructure that are subject to appropriate regulations. Once client-personnel has been educated on the process, the project scope is established. The assessment phase also includes compiling a business process review, IT infrastructure technology review, and knowledge management platform.

Remediation

The next step is to implement the required, addressable and recommended changes to your institution’s environment. This phase brings your organization to a compliant operations level.

Concordant differs from the other implementation consultants in two key ways.

• Our core competence is delivering secure IT infrastructure solutions to healthcare customers.
• We work with strategic software and hardware partners to provide integrated solutions that maximize your technology investments while attaining compliance. The strength of our partner relationships is especially important in implementing your customized solution.

Support & Maintenance

Once your organization is compliant, it must have a plan and a platform to maintain that state. As your environment evolves and regulations change, you need to remain compliant. Concordant offers maintenance services enabling your organization to take a strategic approach to sustaining compliance.

Our ongoing support includes periodic check-ups to identify compliance deficiencies and offer recommendations for improvement. Concordant uses its proprietary tool, CompliantPortal™, to swiftly address issues and develop a balanced action plan.
