Benefits

If you handle any electronic patient information, don't miss this teleconference on compliance with the HIPAA security regulation. All entities covered under HIPAA must take special care of electronic patient health information, including establishing policies and taking regular actions as part of a security management process. Under new changes to the regulations, more entities than ever need to be in compliance, and HHS compliance audit activity and enforcement penalties are both increased, especially in instances of willful neglect of compliance. And if your security fails, you now may be liable under breach notification requirements, which have significant financial and reputational ramifications on top of penalties. If you are now taking on an EHR, it's especially important to make sure you have instituted your information security management process to protect patient information. Learn what it takes to get in compliance and stay there, even as your operations and environment change. Find out what administrative, physical and technical safeguards are necessary, and how you decide what's right for HIPAA security compliance for your organization.

  • Learn what kinds of entities are now covered under the HIPAA Security Rule
  • Find out how the rules have changed and will continue to change
  • See the questions you are likely to be asked in a HIPAA Security compliance audit
