When did you have a risk assessment last and was it actually a true assessment? What would you do if you had a disaster and when was the last time you tested your contingency plan? These are just some of the questions you should already understand and have answers.

The HIPAA Security Rule created national standards and safeguards to protect individuals' personal health information that is created, used, maintained, or used for treatment, payments, and healthcare operations. These safeguards must be implemented to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI that is created, received, maintained, or transmitted. Unlike other regulations, the Security Rule does not specify how the safeguards are implemented but what is required to protect ePHI.

The webinar will break down the Security Rule in an easy way to understand what should already be in place or needs remediation within your organization.
