About Healthcare Privacy Consulting

Practical HIPAA Guidance Grounded in Real Healthcare Experience

Healthcare Privacy Consulting was founded by Amy Merson, MBA, RHIA, a healthcare privacy professional with more than 15 years of experience in HIPAA compliance, health information management, and healthcare operations. Her background includes hospitals, hospice, behavioral health, and substance use disorder treatment settings.

Healthcare Privacy Consulting helps medical practices and smaller healthcare organizations address their compliance needs through practical workforce training, privacy and compliance assessments, policy development, workflow guidance, and ongoing support.

Why I Founded Healthcare Privacy Consulting

Throughout my healthcare career, I saw smaller organizations being asked to meet the same complex privacy and compliance requirements as much larger health systems, often without dedicated privacy staff or the resources to know where to begin.

Healthcare leaders were expected to interpret changing requirements, develop policies, train employees, respond to privacy concerns, and maintain documentation while also managing patient care and daily operations.

I created Healthcare Privacy Consulting to give these organizations access to practical HIPAA guidance that reflects how healthcare actually works. My goal is to help clients understand their responsibilities, improve their privacy practices, and feel confident making everyday compliance decisions.

Our Mission

Making HIPAA Compliance More Manageable

Our mission is to help smaller healthcare organizations protect patient privacy and meet their HIPAA responsibilities through clear guidance, practical training, and support tailored to their real-world operations.

We believe effective compliance should strengthen trust, support better decision-making, and help employees understand how privacy requirements apply to their everyday work. Healthcare Privacy Consulting is committed to making experienced guidance accessible without fear-based messaging or one-size-fits-all solutions.
