DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Responsibilities of a HIPAA Security Officer" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This one-day seminar will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance offers) need to get their HIPAA house in order before the imminent audits occur.
The primary goal is to ensure everyone is well educated on what is myth and what is reality with this law, as there is so much misleading information regarding the do's and don'ts with HIPAA. I want to add clarity for compliance officers.
It will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule and any other applicable updates for 2018.
Areas also covered will be texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data and risk factors as they relate to IT.
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 litigated cases I have worked where HIPAA is being used to justify state cases of negligence - THIS IS BECOMING A HUGE RISK!
In addition, this course will cover the highest risk factors for being sued as well as being audited (these two items tend to go hand in hand)
