Description:  This one-hour pre-recorded webinar presentation is designed and targeted for training your entire staff on basic HIPAA rules & guidelines.

The Office of Civil Rights has announced reinvigoration of the HIPAA AUDIT PROGRAM for 2014.  This is based upon complaints from the OIG regarding their poor audit performance between 2009 and 2011.  Make sure your facility is ready.

Topics for discussion during this presentation include but not limited to:

  • *What 5 rules comprise HIPAA and what do they each mean?
  • *What your employee training should consist of?
  • *How to enhance your Policy & Procedures to cover all of your bases including the 2013 Omnibus Rule?
  • *What is involved in a risk assessment?
  • *How & when to self-report?
  • *Where to find the information and forms for filing breach notifications with HHS?
  • *What steps to take if you find yourself in the middle of an audit?
  • *When and how do you use the Notice of Privacy Practices.

These random on-site audits will include interviews, review of your Policies & Procedures and observation for compliance.  Fines can be huge. Do not take the risk of delaying or avoiding this HIPAA educational opportunity.
