HIPAA and security programs that hold up under audit, plus the data and AI work that makes clinical operations measurable. We put governed data platforms on top of the EHR and define what models are allowed to do with it.

Overview

How we help

HIPAA sets three rules, and we work all of them: Privacy for how PHI is used and disclosed, Security for the controls around ePHI, and Breach Notification for the sixty-day clock that starts when something goes wrong.

The 2026 Security Rule update raises the floor with mandatory encryption, MFA, and segmentation. We assess against the new requirements, fix what fails, and leave your team with evidence OCR can follow.

Why BD Emerson

01

HIPAA and the 2026 Security Rule

The 2026 update to the HIPAA Security Rule makes encryption, multifactor authentication, and network segmentation mandatory rather than addressable. We run risk analyses against that bar, remediate to it, and map your controls to 405(d) HICP, the recognized security practices OCR weighs after an incident.
02

BAAs and EHR audit trails

Your liability follows the PHI. We inventory every business associate, chase the BAAs down the subcontractor chain, and turn on the EHR access audit trails that tell you who viewed which record and when.
03

Segmented networks,
measurable operations

Infusion pumps and imaging systems cannot take an agent, so we segment clinical networks instead. Then we build the governed data layer above the EHR that makes throughput, staffing, and denials measurable.
Certificates

Our accreditations

At BD Emerson, we believe that our team's extensive certifications not only set us apart but also ensure that we provide the highest level of service to our clients.
