This six-hour seminar will be going into great detail regarding you
practice or business information technology and how it relates to the
HIPAA/HITECH Security Rule and securing PHI in transmission.
I
will go through multiple examples and specific scenarios and also offer
simple common-sense solutions. Areas covered will be texting, email,
encryption, medical messaging, voice data, personal devices, and risk
factors. I will uncover myths versus reality as it relates to this very
enigmatic law based on over 1000 risk assessments performed as well as
years of experience in dealing directly with the Office of Civil Rights
HIPAA auditors.
I will speak on specific experiences from over
18 years of experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor,
expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases in state law, 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.
Don't
always believe what you read online about HIPAA, especially as it
relates to encryption and IT, there are a lot of groups selling more
than is necessarily required.
Why you should attend
Confused about all of the misinformation relating to HIPAA, what you can and can't do?
Join me in the six-hour virtual seminar and let me get those questions FINALLY answered for you once and for all!
There
is unfortunately a lot of confusion about transmissions of protected
health information and what we as business associates and covered
entities need to do and what we SHOULD NOT do!
Join me in this
six-hour virtual seminar as we discuss the do's and don'ts regarding
texting and emailing along with any other sorts of transmissions of
protected health information!
It is important to understand the
new changes going on at Health and Human Services as it relates to
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 as well
as being sued by individuals who have had their PHI wrongfully
discloses due to bad IT practices.
I have also been expert witness
on multiple court cases where a business or medical practice is being
sued for not doing their due diligence to minimize risk.
These day's trial attorney's pose a higher risk than the Federal government!
