This 4-Hour Virtual Seminar will get into the fine details of what we need to do and how to do it.
We will go point by point through the entire HIPAA Security Rule and uncover simple methods to comply with and create policy.
The
primary goal is to ensure everyone is well educated on what is a myth
and what is a reality with this law, there is so much misleading
information all over regarding the do's and don'ts with HIPAA - I want
to add clarity for compliance officers.
It will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule and any other applicable updates for 2023.
Why you should attend
Join me in this 4-hour virtual seminar to explore what's new with
HIPAA both from a regulation standpoint (new requirements) and an
enforcement standpoint Omnibus has changed the HIPAA landscape for good!
Do you know all of the requirements of this enigmatic law? Are you abiding by them?
My
goal is to make this extremely complex enigma known as "HIPAA" very
easy to understand with a painless step-by-step approach to an otherwise
harrowing task Times have changed and new laws are now in place
concerning protected health information.
The best way to protect
your practice or business and save yourself future headaches and
possible litigation or Federal fines are to be proactive instead of
reactive This once rarely-enforced law has changed and you need to know
what's going on! Protect your practice or business!
These day trial attorneys pose an even higher risk than the Federal government!
State laws are now in place increasing liability for patient remedies!
What factors might spurn a lawsuit or a HIPAA audit? are you doing these things?
We
will be discussing 2023 changes taking place in Washington with the
Health and Human Services regarding the enforcement of the HIPAA laws
already on the books as well as some detailed discussions on the audit
