- Regulatory Reporting
While government has incentivized up-gradation of IT systems to support 'meaningful use' requirements, concerns over patient data privacy and security come as part and parcel of the process. To combat the downside, federal agencies have put in place innumerable regulatory norms and compliances which the covered entities (CE) of healthcare industry have to follow. Organizations need to adopt measurable controls to protect privileged information and also keep updating these controls as and when there is any up gradation in the system or modification in the compliance standards.
An intuitive and flexible reporting system is a must-have for the healthcare providers and payers to avoid non-conformance and subsequent penalties related to HIPAA & HITECH laws to protect ePHI (electronic Patient Health Information). Reporting systems can generate customized and as well as template-based generic reports which can help to achieve technical data security, and ensure compliance monitoring.

Access Control Reports
HIPAA guidelines state a comprehensive set of requirements to ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic health records and related EDI transactions, for example, reports on hardware and software that are used to collect, store, process or transmit ePHI, encryption mechanisms for ePHI, authentication methods, data transmission methods, security plans, employee-specific reports who have access to e-PHI etc. An efficient reporting system is required which can tune in to the wide-range of reporting requirements of HIPAA.
Audit Reports
HIPAA and HITECH Act also mandates to maintain audit logs for data access, network and security systems, user access, NTFS permissions, privilege, role permissions & membership, remote access etc. Pre-configured templates can be maintained in the reporting systems to generate quick and accurate reports.
Consolidated Change reports
It is also necessary to maintain version change reports of applications that access or process patient data, like EHR systems, billings systems, clinical information systems etc.
Gap Analysis Reports
These reports can be used to view and compare security gaps against regulatory standards to avoid foreseen threats or risks to the security or integrity of information.
Compliance dashboards
