Overview:
One errant email or text message can cost you tens of thousands of dollars in HIPAA fines and penalties and it doesn't matter who you're communicating with: patients, staff, providers or with insurance carriers.
A violation is a violation. And if you think it couldn't happen to
you, think again. Text and email HIPAA violations are not always caused
by what you might think. For example, you may think you are safe as long
as you don't text patients - you're wrong. Many violations generally
occur between providers messaging their staff. You can avoid getting hit
with a HIPAA audit and violations with a few simple changes to your
current processes. But you have to be able to identify the danger zones.
