 One of the key areas that 
healthcare revenue cycle management
 companies need to focus is information 
security.
 
 Due to the sensitive nature of information that 
the RCM companies deal with, it is mandatory to 
maintain a secure work environment; but the 
‘road to perfect security’ does not end just with 
that!

possible exploitation of that technology for 
illegal activities. 
 The U.S. healthcare industry is under constant 
threat of this unwritten ‘law of technology’!
 In U.S., we keep hearing about patient 
data (PHI – Patient Health Information) 
leaks and loss due to data piracy 
attempts, ignorance and carelessness 
leading to compromise of patient 
information security and loss amounting 
to billions of dollars. 
 Many revenue cycle management 
companies have now started to take-up 
certifications that can give them the 
processes that would significantly reduce 
such incidents and also to take 
immediate corrective measures should 
such an event occur.
Can Certifications 
Help In Bridging The 
Gap In Data

every business; let alone the revenue cycle 
management companies. Getting a 
certification is not everything, but eases the 
concerns of data security. 
 Adhering to policies and certifications are like 
traveling on a bridge that has already been 
laid for you; easier than building your own. 
 Experts have already thought well and put 
forth as policies; but, once you are certified, 
you are not done with it; you need to keep 
following the policies, to reach the 
destination.
Let’s Talk About 
Policies That Help In HIPAA:
Enhancing The 
Healthcare Security:
The Health Insurance Portability and 
Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by 
the U.S. government in 1996 with the view 
to establish “national framework for security 
standards and protection of confidentiality 
with regard to health care data and 
information”.
ISO 27001:
 The ISO 27001 helps in attaining best-in-class 
Information Security Management System (ISMS). 
 It insists on management standards for information 
security and is risk-based, helping in effective decision 
making. 
 ISO 27001 allows you to set your goals for information 
security management specific to your business and in 
assessing your growth periodically and attaining 
augmented and measurable business results. 
 ISO 27001 has many policies in common with HIPAA 
and covers the most sensitive areas of concern.
 Following these policies can satisfy the 
security needs of your revenue cycle 
management company,  and it is 
important to focus on continuous 
improvement after getting certified.
