HIPAA 101 – HIPAA Compliance Step-by-Step

Description

The Problem Addressed by this Webinar

HIPAA-regulated organizations (Covered Entities and Business Associates) are at serious risk of health information breaches caused by aggressive criminal attacks. While health information breaches are increasing rapidly, private class action lawsuits stemming from those breaches are growing even faster. Government enforcement is increasing, partly to address medical identity theft, which is the fastest-growing form of identity theft in America today. However, the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules are a blueprint to protect against cybercrime.

The Secret to HIPAA Compliance

HIPAA regulations are legalistic and challenging to read. However, the secret is that they can be broken down into steps that are easy to follow. HIPAA compliance is a systematic process that identifies and addresses risks to the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI) in a step-by-step manner. This webinar explains the steps and compliance process in plain language, using engaging diagrams.
