HIPAA Remediation Planning
PSC led an organization through
a process of creating a strategic plan to become HIPAA compliant.
HIPAA Transactional Reporting
PSC demonstrated ease in meshing
people, processes, and technology when called upon by a
large insurance company to define requirements supporting
the companys HIPAA transactional system reporting
criteria. The transactions, which are electronic exchanges
of information between a health care provider and health
plan administrator, needed to be in place for the company
to be HIPPAA compliant.
PSC helped this client install
and configure the necessary software tools; set up the operating
environment; and then create reports to support the transactional
reporting requirements. PSC further ensured the new systems
success by training and mentoring the clients staff
so they would be able to address the companys future
reporting needs.

HIPAA
Assessment, Strategic Planning, and Remediation Planning
PSC guided a large Midwest
state government organization through an assessment of existing
systems in order to help the organization compile a plan
for becoming HIPAA compliant.
The PSC-led team of twenty members,
some of them state personnel, carefully and thoroughly evaluated
numerous organizational divisions and over twenty key programs
either directly used by the divisions or which critically
affected their operations. The assessment focused on each
programs privacy, security, transactions, code sets,
and identifiers.
The PSC team then developed a
detailed remediation plan to act as a blueprint for the
state organization to become HIPAA compliant. The remediation
plan addressed:
- Strategic planning and project management
- Change management
- Business process reengineering
- Transactions, security, and privacy implementation
- Detailed analysis, design, development, testing, deployment,
and transitioning
- Web-enabled enterprise
- Secured information delivery by means of web-based reporting
- Compliance audit.
Upgrade Server Infrastructure
for Security Compliance
A Fortune 500 banking company
faced the necessity of upgrading their server infrastructure
in order to comply with newly enacted federal mandates requiring
enhanced security. The banking company hired PSC to manage
the upgrade.
PSCs team smoothly directed
this transition to newer tightened standardized security
settings a transition affecting 60 servers within
the banking companys entire organization. Included
in the infrastructure security upgrade were major modifications
to security settings. The security settings encompassed,
among other items, hardening, auditing, authentication,
and authorization. PSC also installed patches critical to
other security systems.
