What Is a HIPAA-Compliant Service Desk?

When a healthcare business has a service desk, it must be HIPAA-compliant. If you have managed help desk services from a provider, ensure they take all the necessary precautions to protect your patients’ data.

A HIPAA-compliant help desk understands the regulations surrounding sensitive patient health information and will work to follow them.

What Is HIPAA?

HIPAA — the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 — is a federal law that helped create the standards for protecting patients’ sensitive health information. It asserts that this information cannot be disclosed without the patient’s knowledge. Any organization that uses sensitive health information must follow all HIPAA guidelines.

Why Do You Need a HIPAA-Compliant Service Desk?

You need a HIPAA-compliant help desk to help you adhere to federal regulations and gain the trust of the patients you serve. Protecting their data is the first and most important step in doing so.

Any area where a hacker or another bad actor could get into your system puts your patients’ sensitive health information at risk, harming your clients and damaging your reputation.

HIPAA Required Security Measures

HIPAA has specific requirements for help desks at health care organizations. Many of these requirements include:

Access controls: Administrators should determine who can access different levels of information.
Authentication: All employees should have individual login credentials that will grant them their cleared security level of access.
Data backup: Sensitive patient health information should be backed up regularly to prevent data loss if a breach or other cybersecurity incident occurs.
Encryption: Encryption helps prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing patients’ sensitive health data.
