One software we suggest to use is the HIPAA Rx™ Compliance Toolkit . This program assists small-to-medium sized medical practices comply with federally mandated HIPAA requirements. It's designed to assist small-to-medium sized healthcare providers in learning, identifying and implementing the federally mandated HIPAA requirements. The primary component of the HIPAA Rx Toolkit is an interactive software CD which includes eleven modules to guide your organization through HIPAA compliance.

The software has an easy to use interface and guides the privacy officer, office manager, or designated official through a step-by-step approach to meeting the different requirements without feeling overwhelmed. To simplify compliance further, the HIPAA Rx Toolkit includes a training video on HIPAA and the HIPAA Rx software. For your convenience this video is provided on VHS and CD.

Once your organization has developed its HIPAA compliance manual with the mandated policies and procedures HIPAA Rx will assist you in training and educating the members of the workforce.
