HIPAA regulations involve much more than posting a Notice of Privacy Practices and having patients sign an acknowledgement form. This session will review all HIPAA documentation requirements, including privacy and security policies, breach notification protocols, employee acknowledgements, security breach assessments, security risk assessments and more. Digital security, including software and hardware requirements to protect from unauthorized access and hacking/ransomware attacks, also will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Identify current documentation requirements for compliance with HIPAA privacy and security rules, including recent rule changes.
Develop a security risk assessment to rectify gaps in security for patients’ protected health information.
Examine current cybersecurity threats to protected health information and methods to minimize those risks.
