This 90-minute webinar will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance offers) need to get their HIPAA house in order as HIPAA HITECH is now fully enforced with bipartisan support and the government is not using kid gloves an more. It will also address new congressional mandates, and the major changes and updates for 2025 and beyond – both for the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule.
We will also be discussing current breaches, most common breaches, telemedicine, texting, emailing, the 21st Century Cures Act (Information Blocking), and the OCR audit process.. There’s an enormous number of issues and risks for covered entities and business associates these days – we will speak to the most common violations and fines – and how to best avoid fines and headaches. I will speak on specific experiences from over 23 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.
