IT services in Sacramento through Noverus Innovations feature a number of aspects which can help optimize businesses. In terms of healthcare, it’s especially integral to work with the experts in order to ensure you’re in full compliance. The law is nebulous and in continuous transition. While the core of HIPAA revolves around protecting individuals’ information and privacy, new technological innovations come so regularly that you can always expect HIPAA to transition. Unless you hire internal personnel whose specific task is to stay “on top” of such transitions, you are going to need to use some outsourced solutions. An outsourced MSP has access to more diverse clients in terms of healthcare. This can appraise them of HIPAA changes that may or may not be immediately apparent but apply to your business.

Shared Liability

Next, there’s something called shared liability that you won’t be able to attain internally. Under HIPAA, the products or services provided to you by Noverus Innovations are protected under the law through shared liability. If our MSP drops the ball and your healthcare facility is found to be without the bounds of HIPAA compliance, then we will be fined. We share your liability. Accordingly, we have an in-built prerogative to remain “on top” of any changes in regard to HIPAA.

Comprehensive Protections

IT services in Sacramento have more comprehensive protections as well. For example, HIPAA requires a strong Backup and Data Recovery solution. BDR safeguards clients and it safeguards health institutions. If something compromise operations, a system can be launched from an online cloud-mirroring solution such that no patient data is lost during the middle of an important operation. A network crash at the wrong time could kill dozens of people “under the knife” at a larger healthcare institution. It makes sense that HIPAA would make it necessary for healthcare institutions to have some sort of failover solution.

Failover Testing

If you do go the outsourced route through an MSP, you’re going to have more reliable failover. The truth is, you can totally maintain your healthcare facility within HIPAA compliance without any kind of external assistance at all. It’s just going to cost you more and you’re going to have to tread water between updates, provided you remain apprised of all updates. Then, you’ve got to test your backup systems on your own, and if you drop the ball here, well, too bad! Now, you’re fined by HIPAA.

With an outsourced solution tested regularly by an MSP, you’ve got greater reliability. The MSP doesn’t want to get fined and they have other clients using the same kind of backup solutions. Maintaining them isn’t just about one client, it’s about all clients. That’s a powerful prerogative to consider. MSPs offer a comprehensive protection.

Simply put, you’ll experience greater HIPAA compliance through an MSP. IT services in Sacramento through Noverus Innovations can help you retain these advantages. Contact us now to secure your operations in terms of HIPAA and against unpredictable emergency situations.
