- Can You Afford to Fall Short on Compliance?
For healthcare organizations, preparing for a HIPAA compliance audit is no small feat. With strict regulations and steep penalties for non-compliance, the stakes are extraordinarily high. One healthcare provider found itself in a bind—facing an imminent audit without the internal resources to ensure readiness. That’s when they turned to Nine Mind Solutions for help.
