A policy library on a shared drive is where HIPAA programs quietly fail: nobody knows which version is current, who acknowledged what, or whether a citation is covered. Compliance Policies replaces that with 28 templates mapped to §164, version-controlled, and tied to the workforce acknowledgement records that make them real.
What it does
- 28 policy templates covering Security, Privacy, and Breach Notification Rules, each citing the §164 specification it satisfies.
- Version control that preserves the policy a workforce member actually acknowledged — not just the latest.
- Scoped editing so Legal, Security, and HR each own the sections they should.
- Change log that an auditor can read: who changed what, when, and why.
How it maps to HIPAA
Policy content aligns to §164.316(a) (policies and procedures), §164.530(i) for the Privacy Rule, and every operational standard that requires a documented procedure. Version-controlled acknowledgement supports §164.530(b) training and §164.316(b)(2) retention.
Where it fits
Policies live in the Compliance Management module and feed Policy Acknowledgement in the Workforce module. For download-only use, see the Free HIPAA policy templates.
