This short video provides an explanation of how EXPRESSO^® uses its Compliance Equation to perform a HIPAA Risk Assessment. In addition, the video describes HIPAA Survival Guide products, education, and tools that you can customize and use in your organization. 

 One of the key HIPAA Survival Guide tools are our Scorecards that not only provide descriptions of HIPAA Implementation Specifications or Controls, but also point you to HIPAA Survival Guide Remediation products, which provide customizable examples of proposed organizational policies, processes, tracking mechanisms and an assortment of compliance tools and education for covered entities and business associates.

Scorecards based on specific requirements are the only way to measure the progress of your compliance initiative (i.e. by definition, if you are in compliance with all the requirements of a regulatory regime then you are in compliance).EXPRESSO^® and the HIPAA Survival Guide works in tandem to guide your efforts in becoming HIPAA Compliant.

The Origins of Expresso®, The Risk Assessment Express

Who doesn’t like coffee? Well maybe there are a few who don’t, but I’m a morning coffee person. It helps get my day started. When there are complex challenges to overcome, I need all the help I can get. Expresso^® is that “jolt of coffee” that enables users to quickly and accurately perform their first HIPAA Risk Assessment. Customers claim it is “a smooth process”. The ability to use Expresso^® Risk Assessment software enables HIPAA Security Rule implementation specifications via Controls to associate Threats, Vulnerabilities and Risks. This facilitates "having the tools to get an onerous, difficult, but necessary job done." There is no need to answer over 30 questions and then begin Risk Mitigation without a plan. The HIPAA Survival Guide not only has Expresso^®  to identify risks but also a HIPAA Implementation Plan and over 30 tools to mitigate risks.

Nevertheless, a Risk Assessment is only the first step toward compliance, and it’s important because this is where the “real fun” starts. Once risks are identified, organizations develop their Risk Mitigation processes, procedures, and tracking mechanisms to guard against the impact of unprotected risks. The HIPAA Survival Guide has over 30 products, training, videos, and webinars for customers, with monthly newsletters and FAQ documentation to climb the learning curve rapidly. Just by watching the videos and participating in webinars, one customer said it was like receiving a “college education” in Regulatory Compliance. “Webinars are outstanding!” One can even become a HIPAA Certified Professional (HCP), sponsored by 3Lions Publishing, Inc. and the HIPAA Survival Guide.

Yes, HIPAA compliance is a complex topic. However, before you begin to assess and mitigate risks, it makes sense to obtain a basic understanding of what is required. Once you identify the objective, it is certainly easier to achieve the desired outcome. One customer said, “Expresso^® and the HIPAA Survival Guide’s products are a complete deal – the whole package.” We claim that clients can produce a Risk Assessment in 3 hours or less, and it is true! Once you understand where you’re going, and are in possession of an easy to read map and a guide you'll get there fast. “ Expresso^®’s documentation was so easy to read that I could report my progress right away. For me, that is worth a lot.”

Another important fact is that Expresso^®, and the many products on the HIPAA Survival Guide website, were designed and developed by Carlos Leyva, Esq. from the Digital Business Law Group, P.A., a renown HIPAA knowledgeable lawyer. Carlos dove into the HIPAA Regulations to develop products for HIPAA Compliance and to design Expresso^® to support Covered Entities and Business Associates.

As a bonus to Expresso^® and the HIPAA Survival Guide Risk Mitigation products, a number of customers have retained Carlos Leyva, Esq. as legal counsel to help guide their HIPAA compliance mission with his fixed fee HIPAA Jumpstart offering. There are very few consultants with a lawyer’s level of HIPAA regulatory knowledge. Our customers say this has given them greater confidence as they develop their HIPAA compliance repository. Shirleen Sando, a HIPAA Survival Guide customer, says “If you want to learn, it’s there… the whole package; from Risk Assessment to Risk Mitigation with educational steps along the way. I recommend Expresso^® and the HIPAA Survival Guide’s Risk Mitigation products to anyone.”
