HIPAA and cybersecurity programs built for public health departments.
Health departments run clinics, keep vital records, and respond to outbreaks, often with a handful of IT staff. Eagle helps you meet HIPAA and protect community data without slowing down your mission.
Start by drawing the HIPAA line correctly.
Public health departments are often HIPAA hybrid entities: clinical services are covered, while other programs are not. Getting that line right, and documenting it, is the starting point of a sound program.
Eagle’s policy templates for health departments are written around how departments actually operate. Our consultants can customize them, run your risk analysis, and train staff.
