Maryland General Hospital (MGH) located in Baltimore, Maryland was founded in 1881. Compliance with HIPAA regulations is a daunting task for healthcare, coming close on the heels of Y2K, overlapping with reimbursement reductions from Federal programs and ever-dwindling operational profit margins. The scope of a HIPAA compliance project as envisioned by the Executive Leadership at MGH required professional assistance outside the capabilities of their own organizational resources. Consulting and project management assistance for a HIPAA Impact Analysis was requested from Phoenix Health Systems, a consulting and outsourcing firm located in the Mid-Atlantic that specializes in the needs of healthcare clients for information systems projects. The methodology utilized to assist MGH in meeting HIPAA compliance involved five distinct phases: Education and Awareness, Impact Analysis, Planning for Implementation and Implementation, Training and Enforcement, and Audit.
