Avoiding IT HIPAA Hazards: Understanding Compliance & Exceptions
Live webinar: Thursday, April 3, 2 pm EDT/11 am PDT
With the passage of the Omnibus Final Ruling in September, 2013, many healthcare IT directors were faced with a seemingly simple question by their organizations’ senior management: “are we or aren’t we HIPAA Compliant .”
Reaching definitive answers to specific HIPAA compliance issues can be difficult, made all the more confusing by updates to the law since its initial passage. HIPAA contains few absolute measures that must be implemented to achieve compliance. And once you have deployed the technology solutions, implemented the policies and trained your personnel, there is still no certification or stamp of approval from an authorized compliance agency available for reassurance.
While not just an IT problem, IT teams have nonetheless been called on to do the heavy lifting necessary to ensure HIPAA compliance. Their efforts are often undertaken with little understanding of what’s actually required in order to achieve HIPAA compliance and frequently result in processes that are lacking in small but important ways. From my conversations with customers regarding their compliance needs and solutions, I hear several recurring incorrect assumptions that can spell trouble.
Join us on our next webinar to discuss the 7 most common incorrect HIPAA assumptions.
