HIPAA Access Review Checklist
A quarterly HIPAA access review checklist for small medical clinics covering ePHI system access grants, excess access identification, termination verification, and access review documentation.
Short answer
A structured checklist that guides clinic administrators through a quarterly access review — comparing active system access against current workforce roles, identifying excess or outdated access, and documenting findings. Includes a termination verification section and a one-page access review summary.
What is inside
- System-by-system access table — list every PHI system and every user's current access level
- Role comparison column — compare actual access to the minimum access the role requires
- Excess access log — document what was found and what was removed, with timestamps
- Termination check — verify no separated staff retain active access in any system
- Signed access review summary — the artifact your Privacy Officer signs to close out each review
We publish the same practical templates and decision tools that clinics use to structure recurring HIPAA work. No enterprise gate. No resource-library gimmicks. Just practical material delivered quickly.
