This 90-minute webinar will address how practice/business managers (or compliance officers) need to get their HIPAA house in order as HIPAA HITECH is going through some major changes.
I will go step by step through the current regulation (as it stands today) and compare that with what the new requirements will be.
We will also be discussing current breaches, most common breaches, telemedicine, texting, emailing, the 21st Century Cures Act (Information Blocking), and the OCR audit process.
There are an enormous number of issues and risks for covered entities and business associates these days – we will speak to the most common violations and fines, and how to best avoid fines and headaches.
I will speak on specific experiences from over 23 years of experience working as an outsourced compliance auditor, expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases, and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health information.
More importantly, I will show you how to limit those risks by simply taking proactive steps and utilizing best practices.
