Overview:

Being in compliance with HIPAA involves not only ensuring you provide the appropriate patient rights and controls on your uses and disclosures of protected health information, but you also have the proper policies and procedures in place. If audited or the subject of a compliance review you will be required to show the government you have all the necessary documentation in place for safeguarding patient Protected Health Information and indicate how you addressed all required privacy safeguards. This starts with the fundamentals of understanding a patient's rights to access their health information under HIPAA.

If your healthcare practice needs to understand what your responsibilities are regarding patient rights and access under HIPAA or make sure the current process is adequate and can withstand government scrutiny, please join us for this informative and interactive course.
