• HIPAA is not a moving target -- it is a rolling set of implementation dates for discrete requirements that permit you to segment your HIPAA work in a common sense manner.
• The Kearney Group (TKG) approach helps you wade through the HIPAA regulations providing common sense solutions along the pathway to your HIPAA compliance.
• The HIPAA requirements are common sense security and privacy standards to protect patient confidential information and the TKG series of solutions is the common sense approach to HIPAA.
• HIPAA will reduce the amount of paper you use, the postage you spend, and the amount of time you spend doing certain chores.
