Management Service Organizations

The MSOAP program assesses organizations that offer centralized administrative and hosted technology services, such as electronic health records, to healthcare providers to assure that protected health information (PHI) is stored, accessed and/or transmitted in a private and secure manner. Other areas of focus include privacy and confidentiality, technical performance, business processes, resources and security.

In the process of a thorough, objective MSOAP evaluation, your organization will identify strategies and tactics to improve efficiency, elevate quality of service, and remain current with existing marketplace trends.

EHNAC’s MSOAP program

  • Reduces risk to PHI and operations through the demonstration of a risk management program with effective controls that appropriately minimize threats
  • Prepares your organization for third party audits including trading partner audits (some payers require EHNAC accreditation as a condition of processing their transactions) and state compliance (EHNAC accreditation is required for processing healthcare transactions in the states of Maryland and New Jersey)
  • Enhances trust for your customers, trading partners, and other stakeholders
