Ensemble Health Partners Again Achieves HITRUST Risk-Based, 2-year Certification Demonstrating the Highest Level of Information Protection Assurance
May 21 2024 - 9:07AM
Ensemble Health Partners (Ensemble), the market leader in
end-to-end revenue cycle outsourcing for mid-sized to large
healthcare organizations, announced today that its proprietary
revenue cycle intelligence platform, EIQ ®, has earned certified
status by HITRUST for information security for the second
time.
HITRUST Risk-based,
2-year (r2) Certification demonstrates that EIQ has met demanding
regulatory compliance and industry-defined requirements and is
appropriately managing risk. This achievement places Ensemble in an
elite group of organizations worldwide that have earned this
certification. By including federal and state regulations,
standards, and frameworks and incorporating a risk-based approach,
the HITRUST Assurance Program helps organizations address security
and data protection challenges through a comprehensive and flexible
framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls. Ensemble
first earned the certified status by HITRUST for EIQ in
2022.
“Healthcare organizations
are now, more than ever, under pressure to address emerging threats
and meet complex compliance, information protection and privacy
requirements,” said David Anderson, Chief Information Security
Officer at Ensemble. “We are thrilled to again demonstrate to
providers that we continue to obtain the highest standards for data
protection and information security by achieving the rigorous
HITRUST r2 Certification.” EIQ is Ensemble’s revenue cycle
intelligence engine that transforms data from billions of
transactions into insights — automating workflows and guiding
operator actions in various systems — to help eliminate barriers
preventing fast, accurate claim resolution and payment for
healthcare organizations. Ensemble has received ten patents for
EIQ’s innovative process automation and data exchange
capabilities.
“HITRUST
certification is globally recognized as validation that information
security and privacy controls are effective and compliant with
various regulations. HITRUST certification is considered the gold
standard because of the comprehensiveness and applicability of the
control requirements, depth of the assurance process, and level of
oversight that ensures accuracy,” said Jeremy Huval, Chief
Innovation Officer at HITRUST.
This announcement comes
on the heels of several other recent accomplishments for Ensemble,
including Ensemble's tenth patent for its latest innovative
technology, its expanded partnership with Microsoft to accelerate
continued innovation of EIQ, its partnership with Epic in the newly
launched Epic Rev Cycle Partners program and its fourth year being
ranked #1 in KLAS for end-to-end revenue cycle outsourcing by
healthcare executives. These accomplishments are a testament to
Ensemble’s position as the leading RCM firm in the industry,
underscoring its ability to operate consistently high-performing
revenue cycle operations, meet or exceed client expectations, and
enable healthcare organizations to deliver exceptional care in
their communities.
