It’s a Good Day
3rd November 2019
Read it. And admire the flow-chart.
It’s that magical time of year again: time for the annual SRA (Security Risk Assessment)!!! Medical offices across this great land look forward to this all year long. As you no doubt are aware, the SRA was developed by the ONC in collaboration with HHS OCR, and is required by CMS to be sure that your EMR complies with HIPAA. It is far too complex to be understood by mere doctors, so I pay a consulting firm to submit the proper regulatory paperwork to the proper TLA’s (Three Letter Acronyms) on my behalf. A cynic might think that it’s not that it’s complex, but rather that it was designed to require third party consultants, to help the government control healthcare. But that would be very, very cynical. So never mind.
