U.S. cloud-computing solutions and risk management provider EGestalt Technologies has launched a low-cost self-assessment tool HI-Scan. HI-Scan is a quick and inexpensive means for healthcare service providers to determine and handle high-risk medical practices and business associates that are short on fulfilling Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act/Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health compliance obligations.

The HI-Scan tool can be used by both medical providers and their business associates, such as contractors, hazardous waste collectors and blood work laboratories, serving covered entities on a daily basis. It can be added on to the base SecureGRC solution to e-mail a short questionnaire of 20-plus critical requirements to flag areas of non-compliance. Based on the results, users can quickly recognize and prioritize the problem areas that need to be escalated.
