The
Situation
Healthcare Provider is a growing therapy practice looking to improve the efficiency of its technology investments, reduce the distractions to the business from technology and modernize legacy architectures to a more cloud based and business outcome focused solution. Our organization was called in to help recover failing business critical technology services and evaluate how to best support them moving forward.
The
Solution
Aligned initially engaged with the Practice to stabilize their technology platforms, assess their security posture and governance mechanisms, and take a full inventory of the technology in place. After identifying business requirements and capabilities, Aligned recommended steps to enhance the client’s compliance with HIPAA standards. This included migrating and upgrading their EMR platform within Amazon Web Services (AWS), utilizing HIPAA-eligible services like Amazon S3 and RDS, helping them improve their data security posture. We implemented VPC Flow Logs, CloudTrail, and AWS Config, all aligned with HIPAA eligibility, to monitor network traffic and system changes, ensuring secure data handling practices. Furthermore, we secured their AWS account by applying HIPAA-eligible controls and services to improve their existing compliance efforts. Lastly, we assisted in the development of a backup and recovery strategy for their EMR and ePHI, leveraging AWS to improve data security, helping them move toward more robust compliance with HIPAA’s stringent data protection requirements.
