Frazier & Deeter, one of the nation’s fastest-growing accounting and advisory firms, announced today that it has been named as a member of the HITRUST Quality Subcommittee (the Subcommittee).
The HITRUST Quality Subcommittee comes as a part of the HITRUST CSF® Assessor Council, which is comprised of ten HITRUST Authorized External Assessors and one HITRUST executive, who represent a wide variety of organizations supporting the healthcare and public health sector.
The Quality Subcommittee, comprised of four firms, is focused on the consistency, integrity, and quality of the HITRUST Assurance Program.
“The Quality Subcommittee is strategically charged with ensuring HITRUST Assessors consistently achieve the levels of quality that are critical to HITRUST,” said Jeremy Huval, Chief Compliance Officer at HITRUST. “Frazier & Deeter’s appointment to the council was made due to their team’s years of HITRUST experience, motivation to provide thought leadership, and track record of quality.”
Andrew Hicks, Frazier & Deeter’s National HITRUST Practice Leader and Vice President of Risk Assurance, will serve as the representative on the Subcommittee. Hicks will be able to provide direct input on the assessment and certification program while sharing challenges and opportunities that he has encountered as a Certified HITRUST CSF Assessor.
“There are approximately 100 HITRUST Authorized External Assessors, of which, only four have been selected to participate in this important capacity,” said Hicks. “As a firm dedicated to customer quality and continuous improvement, we are honored to have been selected and will continue to positively influence the quality of the HITRUST Assurance Program.”
