This lesson is going to get back to the basics using multiple real life scenarios and “what if’s”.  My goal is to make this very confusing and not well-explained law easy to understand for the typical staff member.  I will uncover myths versus reality as it relates to this enigmatic law based on over 1000 risk assessments perfórmed as well as years of experience in dealing directly with the Office of Civil Rights HIPAA auditors.   I will also point out multiple court cases I have been affiliated with whére a staff member of a hospital or clinic has been sued or even imprisoned!

He will also speak to real life audits conducted by the Federal government (I’ve been on both sides of these audits) what your highest risks are for being fined (some of the risk factors may surprise you).  In àddition, this course will cover the highest risk factors for being sued for wrongful disclosures of PHI and the manner in which patients are nôw using state laws to sue for wrongful disclosures.

• It is important to understand the new changes going on at Health and Human Services as it relates to the enforcement of HIPAA for both covered entities and business associates as it relates to portable devices, texting, and emailing of PHI.  You need to knów how to avoid being low hanging fruit in terms of audit risk as well as being used by individuals who have hàd their PHI wrongfully disclóses due to bád IT practices.
