Why You Should Attend
-
The need for HIPAA compliance has evolved since the HIPAA laws were
passed in 1996. In addition, as technology has advanced into more use
of the internet and web-based hardware and software resources,
compliance has also become more difficult and complex.
-
Now both covered entities (providers of health care services) and
their business associates (support vendors) have to implement
comparable compliance measures.
-
Breaches are almost impossible to escape - recent studies show that
approximately 90% of covered entities and business associates have had
at least one breach of a patient's protected health information. And,
HIPAA federal penalties can be significant.
-
Compounding the issue is that almost all states have incorporated the
HIPAA regulations, in one form or another, into their state health
care privacy laws and/or the courts have accepted the HIPAA
regulations as the standard of care for protecting a patient's health
information.
-
It is important for the health care organization to know what is
expected by the regulations.
-
To satisfy your HIPAA compliance requirements, health care management
and staff need to understand the HIPAA privacy and security
regulations, understand how to assess your health care organization's
HIPAA compliance status, understand the role of each of the members of
your workforce in meeting your compliance requirements and know what
to do if there is a breach of your patient health data.
-
This webinar provides an in-depth review of these subjects and leaves
the participant with a solid understanding of what has to be done to
be HIPAA compliant.
