Overview:
This lesson will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance offers) need to get their HIPAA house in order as HIPAA is now fully enforced and the government is not using kid gloves any more.
It will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule, the Trump
administration, and any other applicable updates for 2022 and beyond.
There
are an enormous amount of issues and risks for covered entities and
business associates these days. 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, 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.
