Two Day Seminar: The Truth About HIPAA Privacy Rule Compliance and Understanding New Rules and Responsibilities of Privacy Officer - Atlanta, Georgia, United States - 25th, 26th of August 2016 - Research and Markets
DUBLIN, July 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The truth about HIPAA Privacy Rule Compliance and Understanding New Rules and Responsibilities of Privacy Officer: 2-Day In-person Seminar" conference to their offering.
This lesson will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance officers) 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 2016. 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 17 years of experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor, expert witness on 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.
I will be going into great detail regarding you practice or business and how it relates to the HIPAA Security/Privacy Rule. Areas covered will be history of HIPAA, privacy vs security, business associates, changes for 2016, audit process, paper based PHI, HIPAA and suing, texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data and much, much, more.
I will uncover myths versus reality as it relates to this very enigmatic law based on over 1000 risk assessments performed as well as years of experience in dealing directly with the Office of Civil Rights HIPAA auditors. I will also speak to real life audits conducted by the Federal government (I've been on both sides of these audits) what your highest risks are for being fined (some of the risk factors may surprise you).
In addition, this course will cover the highest risk factors for being sued for wrongful disclosures of PHI and the manner in which patients are now using state laws to sue for wrongful disclosures. Don't always believe what you read online about HIPAA, especially as it relates to encryption and IT, there are a lot of groups selling more than is necessarily required.
