This 6-hour seminar will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance offers) need to get their HIPAA house in order before the imminent audits occur. It will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule and any other applicable updates for 2018.
Areas also covered will be texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data and risk factors as they relate to IT.
The
primary goal is to ensure everyone is well educated on what is myth and
what is reality with this law, there is so much misleading information
regarding the do's and don'ts with HIPAA - I want to add clarity for
compliance officers and what you guys need to do and how to best
implement your HIPAA program based on over 18 years of personal
experience working with Federal auditors, state auditors, and corporate
auditors.
We will go through multiple scenarios that are commonly faced by compliance officers and how to manage these situations
I
will also speak to real life litigated cases I have worked where HIPAA
is being used to justify state cases of negligence - THIS IS BECOMING A
HUGE RISK!
In addition, this course will cover the highest risk
factors for being sued as well as being audited (these two items tend to
go hand in hand).
Join me in this in depth 6-hour seminar where we will get into the
nitty-gritty about the roles and responsibilities of a HIPAA Compliance
Officer
Do you have an affective HIPAA compliance program? Do you know what needs to be done to satisfy the requirements?
New
laws, funding, and enforcement mean increased risk for both business
associates and covered entities - 2017 was a record year for enforcement
and fines - 2018 will be no different.
HIPAA Omnibus - Do you know what's involved and what you need to do?
What does Omnibus mean for covered entities and business associates?
Why should you be concerned?
Court cases that are changing the landscape of HIPAA and patient’s ability to sue!
TRIAL ATTORNEYS ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!!
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. 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 or
internal administrative practices.
