Audits are increasing as a result of the increased number of breaches throughout the United States. With the increase of Healthcare Apps, the increase of online resources for patients to access their healthcare records, cloud storage, and the use for mobile device’s to improve communication; there is a much greater need to incorporate a culture of compliance with privacy and security.

31. “Our HIPAA/OSHA compliance was a huge concern in our office, especially
after one of our employees filed a complaint with OSHA.
We started using HCSI 4 years ago and couldn't be happier with the program.
It's simple to set up and easier to use.
Do yourself a favor and sign up, it will make your life easier!”

32. “HCSI kept my fanny out of the hoosekow with a cranky (bit
weirdo/psycho) patient who thought we had been naughty in multiple
ways.
Our association with you all made the difference. We passed the
inspection with flying colors and OCR told the "patient" to bug
off!! Loved It!”
