Implementation specifications under HIPAA that are "required" must be implemented <br /> and documented that they were in fact implemented, including how the specification was <br /> implemented. Implementation specifications under HIPAA that are "addressable" will be <br /> implemented as follows: <br /> 1. If the implementation specification is reasonable and appropriate, North State Medical <br /> Transport will implement it. <br /> 2. If the implementation specification is determined to be inappropriate and/or <br /> unreasonable, but the security standard cannot be met without implementation of an <br /> additional security safeguard, North State Medical Transport may implement an <br /> alternative measure that achieves the addressable specification. <br /> 3. If North State Medical Transport meets the standard through alternative measures,the <br /> decision not to implement the specification will be documented, including the reason <br /> for the decision,the rationale, and a description of the alternative safeguard that was <br /> implemented. <br />
