Supervisors approve $14,459 renewal for HIPAA consulting; staff urged to finish trainings
Summary
The board renewed an annual HIPAA consulting contract with Karoche Compliance Services for $14,459 and discussed employee training compliance (~47% complete); staff will assist remaining employees with training to meet mandatory requirements.
County staff requested renewal of Jackson County’s annual HIPAA consulting contract, saying the vendor offered the same services at last year’s rate. Marty told the board the contract is due to renew 02/15/2026 and asked for approval of the $14,459 renewal so the county remains compliant with privacy and security training requirements. The auditor’s office noted that many employees still need to complete assigned courses and offered in‑office training support after February deadlines.
The board approved the contract by voice vote. Supervisors emphasized the trainings are mandatory and urged employees to complete them promptly; one supervisor added bluntly, “Get them done, please.” The county will authorize the chair to sign and the auditor to implement payroll changes where needed.
