The need for HIPAA compliance has evolved since the HIPAA laws were passed in 1996. In addition, as technology has advanced into more use of the internet and web-based hardware and software resources, compliance has also become more difficult and complex.

Now both covered entities (providers of health care services) and their business associates (support vendors) have to implement comparable compliance measures.

Breaches are almost impossible to escape – recent studies show that approximately 90% of covered entities and business associates have had at least one breach of a patient’s protected health information.  And, HIPAA federal penalties can be significant.

Compounding the issue is that almost all states have incorporated the HIPAA regulations, in one form or another, into their state health care privacy laws and/or the courts have accepted the HIPAA regulations as the standard of care for protecting a patient’s health information.

It is important for the health care organization to know what is expected by the regulations.

To satisfy your HIPAA compliance requirements, health care management and staff need to understand the HIPAA privacy and security regulations, understand how to assess your health care organization’s HIPAA compliance status, understand the role of each of the members of your workforce in meeting your compliance requirements and know what to do if there is a breach of your patient health data.

This webinar provides an in-depth review of these subjects and leaves the participant with a solid understanding of what has to be done to be HIPAA compliant.
