Description/Agenda

Overview:

• This one-day seminar will get into the fine details of what we need to do and how to do it.

  We will go point by point through the entire HIPAA Security Rule and uncover simple methods to comply and create policy.

  The primary goal is to ensure everyone is well educated on what is myth and what is reality with this law, as there is so much misleading information regarding the do's and don'ts with HIPAA. I want to add clarity for compliance officers.

  It will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule and any other applicable updates for 2018.

  Why you should attend:

  Omnibus has changed the HIPAA landscape for good!

  Do you know all of the requirements of this enigmatic law?

  Are you abiding by them?

  My goal is to make this extremely complex enigma known as "HIPAA" very easy to understand with a painless step by step approach to an otherwise harrowing task... Times have changed and new laws are now in place concerning Protected Health Information. The best way to protect your practice or business and save yourself future headaches and possible litigation or Federal fines is to be proactive instead of reactive.

  This once rarely enforced law has changed and you need to know what's going on!

  Protect your practice or business!

  These day's trial attorney's pose an even higher risk than the Federal government!

  State laws are now in place increasing liability for patient remedies!

  What factors might spurn a lawsuit or a HIPAA audit? ...are you doing these things?

  Why are the Feds enforcing after all these years?

  We will be discussing 2018 changes taking place in Washington with the Health and Human Services in regards to the enforcement of the HIPAA laws already on the books as well as some detailed discussions on the audit process as well as some current events regarding HIPAA cases (both in courtrooms and from live audits)
