Returning a leased copier? Wipe it first.

Many office copiers and multifunction printers keep copies of what they scan, print, and fax. In a healthcare office, that can include patient information.

Before a leased copier goes back or an old one is replaced, we recommend asking three questions:
1. Does this device store what it scans, prints, or faxes?
2. Who will wipe that data before it leaves the office?
3. Can we get confirmation of the wipe in writing?

It's an easy step to miss during an equipment swap, and it belongs on your HIPAA checklist.

Want a second set of eyes on the devices in your office? Book a free 30-minute HIPAA Risk Check, no sales pitch. Call us at 608-430-3717.

Three questions to ask yourself this weekend: Does everyone at your practice have their own login? Do you know every vendor that touches patient data? When did you last test restoring a backup?

If your cameras are mostly for after hours, ask before you buy how they handle the dark and how long recordings are kept. Those two answers matter more than the megapixels.

Earlier this month, HHS's Office for Civil Rights announced a $140,000 settlement with a Pennsylvania dental practice. It started with a patient who asked for her records more than once and didn't get them. HIPAA gives patients the right to their records within 30 days (with one possible 30-day extension), and investigators found the practice had no written process for handling those requests.
For a small office, the fix isn't complicated: a written process, one person who owns it, and knowing where every patient's records actually live so you can pull them quickly.
Not sure your practice has that covered? Book your free 30-minute HIPAA Risk Check: 608-430-3717.

If the Wi-Fi drops in exam room 3 every afternoon, it's usually not "just the internet." It's often access point placement or interference. A quick walkthrough with the right tools usually finds it.

Before you buy cameras, decide three things: what you need to see (faces at the door, or just the lot?), how long you keep footage, and who can view it. The gear is the easy part.
Thinking about cameras? Call 608-430-3717 for a walkthrough.

What happens in a free HIPAA Risk Check? 30 minutes, on the phone or in person. We ask how your practice handles patient data (computers, email, Wi-Fi, vendors, backups, who has access) and tell you plainly where the gaps are and what to fix first. It isn't a full risk analysis, and there's no sales pitch.

A backup that says "successful" tells you a job ran. It doesn't tell you the files come back. The only way to know is a test restore: pick a real file, restore it, and open it. Put it on the calendar.
