Description
This 90-minute webinar will detail your practice (or business) information technology and how it relates to the HIPAA/HITECH Security Rule and securing PHI in transmission – what is required and what is myth… I will review multiple examples and specific scenarios and offer simple, common-sense solutions. I will also discuss the do's and don'ts relating to encryption and updated bulletins provided by the Office for Civil Rights.
Areas covered will be texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data, personal devices, and risk factors.
I will uncover myths versus reality as they relate to this enigmatic law based on over 1000 risk assessments performed and years of experience in dealing directly with the Office for Civil Rights HIPAA auditors.
I will speak on specific experiences from over 18 years of experience working as an outsourced compliance auditor and expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases in state law and thoroughly explain how patients can now get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health information.
More importantly, I will show you how to limit those risks by taking proactive steps and utilizing best practices.
Don't always believe what you read online about HIPAA, especially regarding encryption and IT; many groups sell more than necessary.
Areas Covered
Why Should You Attend
Confused about all the misinformation about HIPAA, what can and can't you do?
Let me get those questions FINALLY answered for you once and for all!
What is myth, and what is reality?
There is a lot of confusion about transmissions of protected health information, what business associates and covered entities need to do, and what we SHOULD NOT do!
Join me in this 90-minute webinar as we discuss the do's and don'ts of texting and emailing, along with any other sorts of protected health information transmissions!
It is essential to understand the new changes going on at Health and Human Services as it relates to the enforcement of HIPAA for both covered entities and business associates as it relates to portable devices, texting, emailing, and transmission in general of protected health information (PHI).
You need to know how to avoid being low-hanging fruit in terms of audit risk and being sued by individuals who have had their PHI wrongfully disclosed due to bad IT practices.
I have also witnessed multiple court cases where a business or medical practice is sued for not doing their due diligence to minimize risk.
These days, trial attorneys pose a higher risk than the federal government!
