I always tell my clients that the money is in the list.  And one of the keys to a bigger list is building a home page that converts.  A good home page can and should convert 10-20% of visitors into leads.

1. HIPAA Compliance for
Startups

2. If you're reading this, that must mean
that you have recently learned that your
startup is now subject to HIPAA. Now the
question is: what on earth does that
mean?
Lucky for you, this is the exact reason
why we've built Accountable. To help
companies not only do everything they
need to do in order to be fully HIPAA
compliant, but to guide you through an
incredibly complicated and vague process
set forth by the government.

3. Startups are in a unique situation. Since
most startups are software based
companies, they might be dealing with
thousands or hundreds of thousands of
individual's protected health information
(PHI).
This sheer amount of sensitive data is
enough to make anyone nervous. The
importance of having physical and
technical safeguards in place is
paramount to the security of your user's
PHI.

4. One of the most interesting things about
HIPAA, is that it doesn't matter whether
you are aware the you need to be HIPAA
compliant or not for the law to impact
you.
For instance, if your company works with
a healthcare company that uses your
software to store any PHI, think any
medical information that might be able to
be traced back to an individual, then you
are subject to HIPAA.

5. This means that you need to complete
your annual risk assessment, adopt
policies & procedures, train all of your
employees, and sign a business associate
agreement with any organization that
either shares PHI with you or you share
PHI with.
Along with these administrative tasks,
you also need to ensure that all of your
data is properly secured and encrypted.

6. This brings us to the topic of "Business
Associates." These organizations consist
of any organization that discloses,
creates, maintains, transmits, or receives
protected health information.
You need to have a Business Associate
Agreement (BAA) in place with any
partners, clients, or users that might be
considered a business associate (or
covered entity).

7. Most hosting companies will offer to sign
a BAA with your company if you host PHI
in their cloud.
Other companies like, shredding
companies, might need a little more push
to have an agreement signed.

9. Chances are, unless you have loads of
cash on hand, you don't want to pay an
attorney or expensive consultant to help
you attain HIPAA compliance.
The policies alone would cost you
thousands of dollars. Fortunately,
Accountable provides you with all of the
necessary documents to accomplish the
task of becoming compliant.

10. The platform is also designed to walk you
through, in a step-by-step manner, all
that you need to do in order to become
fully HIPAA compliant.
I want you to be successfuly in
accomplishing this challenge of making
your startup HIPAA compliant.

11. We believe that healthcare is going to
continue to be an integral part of the US
economy and will boom as startups find
innovative ways to transform healthcare.
