New client turns to CynergisTek for compliance expertise and information blocking and interoperability services
CynergisTek, Inc. (NYSE American: CTEK), leading cybersecurity, privacy, compliance, and IT audit firm helping organizations in highly regulated industries navigate emerging security and privacy issues, has been selected for a new contract by a west coast health care agency for information blocking and interoperability assessment and consulting services. In this six-figure agreement, CynergisTek will support the client’s efforts to evaluate their overall data governance processes and assess compliance with the ONC’s Cures Act Final Rule.
CynergisTek will provide the client with a comprehensive approach for understanding applicable information blocking and interoperability requirements, recommendations for prioritizing compliance efforts and business practices, and remediation support for implementing and managing compliance initiatives. CynergisTek was awarded this contract due to its reputation in the market and its team of highly experienced compliance, privacy, and information security consultants that understand the complexities of organizations that operate as both healthcare providers and payers.
Healthcare organizations are making sure their systems and practices are ready to meet the requirements of the 21st Century Cures Act, especially to advance interoperability, support the access, exchange, and use of electronic health information, and address instances of blocking. “Our team, with their regulatory, compliance, and privacy expertise, is able to evaluate an organization’s systems and processes to ascertain gaps in meeting the Cures Act requirements,” said Mac McMillan, CEO of CynergisTek. “This is a relatively new service, and we continue to add new clients. It’s very important to the healthcare organizations we work with that they are not just compliant with the Act, but more importantly, that they meet the expectations of their patients.”
“With additional compliance dates coming into effect this year, it is vital that healthcare providers, hospitals, health information exchanges, and health IT developers understand how the Cures Act may impact them and what is needed to comply with the complex rules,” said Andrew Mahler, Vice President of Compliance and Privacy Services at CynergisTek. “Our background and expertise in privacy, healthcare compliance, IT audit, and information security helps our clients not only understand new compliance risks to their organization, but also how to improve compliance efforts in policy and practice.”
