No there is no prior compliance or HIPAA experience required to use the kits. We start you from scratch. We’ve made them extremely easy to use so anyone can do it.
However, there is one caveat. Since HIPAA Security requires that you lock down your computers, networks, etc, you may have to work with your IT staff or an IT consultant to actually implement some of the safeguards in the Documentation Kit. The Security Documentation Kit will provide you with all the documented policies and procedures such as a policy and procedure requiring daily backups but then you will need someone to actually implement those backups as an example.
