This is an interactive web application/platform that allows the management to view the entire organization’s compliance progress from an easy to read dashboard. These compliance tasks include required annual staff trainings and certification, generating and maintaining site-specific regulatory manuals (safety manuals, and Safety Data Sheets manuals, Records manuals, etc.), completing all required regulatory documents (e.g. forms, checklists, logs and other HR documents), and managing all HIPAA required tasks (e.g. annual risk assessments reports, policies and procedures, and training). The portal also provides a secure and HIPAA compliant internal filing system to keep important records and messaging for safe and efficient communication.
