HITRUST Deadline This Summer For Healthcare Industry
The Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) announced in June, 2015, the expansion of the healthcare industry’s use of the CSF Assurance program in support of efforts to efficiently and effectively manage the third-party assurance process. The Alliance said at that time that healthcare organizations would begin requiring their business associates within the healthcare industry to obtain HITRUST CSF Certification within the following 24 months.
“The HITRUST examination and assurance process can take six months or more to complete successfully, so it would be wise for healthcare providers and their related service organizations managing consumer data to schedule their HITRUST CSF assessment now to meet the summer 2017 deadline,” advises Eric Ratcliffe, Director at 360 Advanced.
