In general, MSPs failed to become more knowledgeable about HIPAA compliance because many of their clients already were.

It should come as no surprise that MSPs also failed to understand the difference between HIPAA and HITECH. However, instead of closing the knowledge gap, they’ve merely resolved to provide reactive solutions to their clients. This method isn’t exactly the most fail-safe or effective way to go about compliance.

Does your managed IT service company understand what HIPAA compliance really mean? The statistics say that 98% of MSPs don’t fully understand HIPAA. And, the likelihood that your MSP is among the knowledgeable 2% is quite small.  Therefore, like the overwhelming majority of MSPs, your MSP likely handles HIPAA compliance as a matter of risk assessment. The truth, however, is that while security and risk assessments are important, there are several different facets of HIPAA that affect compliance.
