Overview
Business Associates - organizations that create, receive, maintain or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI) - on behalf of a Covered Entity or to provide a service or function involving PHI for a covered Entity - are directly liable for compliance with HIPAA law protecting the privacy and security of PHI.
If you are a Business Associate you must know exactly what you have to do to comply with HIPAA. But you have two hurdles. 
Why should you attend this webinar?
First, your HIPAA responsibilities are new so you don't have the HIPAA compliance background and experience of your customers - Covered Entities.
Second, you are liable for compliance with the entire HIPAA Security Rule - and parts of the HIPAA Privacy and Breach Notification Rules. But at first, second and third glance it is difficult to find your Privacy and Breach Notification Rule obligations and no one is in charge! HIPAA only directs you to identify a Security Official to develop and implement Security Rule Policies and Procedures. It gives you no direction at all about developing Your Privacy and Breach Notification Rule compliance program.
This session will explain Business Associate HIPAA compliance responsibilities
There is a secret to Business Associate HIPAA compliance. The secret is - HIPAA Rules are easy to follow, step-by-step -when you know the steps.
Areas Covered in the Session:
This webinar for HIPAA Business Associates will cover HIPAA law that applies to Business Associates and the top 5 HIPAA Compliance Priorities:
  • The HIPAA Compliance Official who's in charge? - All HIPAA compliance responsibility rests squarely with top management. But authority to develop and implement a HIPAA compliance program is delegated to one or more Business Associate HIPAA Compliance Official(s). They must do more than just develop and implement Security Rule Policies and Procedures. Business Associate HIPAA Compliance Official's duties are a roadmap to develop, implement and maintain a Business Associate's HIPAA Compliance Program.
  • Risk Analysis and Risk Management - the basis of HIPAA Compliance broken down into its 3 basic parts and explained step-by-step.
  • Understand and implement the interconnected Business Associate Security Rule and Privacy Rule Compliance responsibilities with appropriate Policies and Procedures.
  • Learn how to investigate, assess and document Potential Breaches and if necessary, make notifications required by the Breach Notification Rule.
  • Understand Business Associate Agreements with a Covered Entity and a Subcontractor Business Associate. Write your own Business Associate Agreement, recognize red flags, and avoid making your Subcontractor Business Associate your agent under the Federal Common Law of Agency by mistake. 
Who can Benefit:
Business Associates of all types - for example:
  • Medical Billing and Coding companies
  • IT Vendors
  • Electronic Health Record Providers
  • EHR Consultants
  • Practice Management Firms

Understanding Design Controls

Compliance Key INC  -  Medical Device Training Overview Design Controls are the processes used to design, develop, and manage medical devices that you manufacture. They are mandated by federal regulation, however, the regulations concerning design controls are vague in terms of the specific process steps required and the approaches that should be taken to achieve compliance should be developed. Knowing how the FDA both views and examines design controls is crucial to achieving compliance throughout the life of the medical devices you manufacture and is one of the most valuable compliance subject areas to explore. Noncompliance in design controls, which are consistently uncovered by the FDA during inspections and examinations, are concerned with the design control process that has been designed and applied and the documentation required to support each design control step. The specific sections of the regulations that apply to design controls include CFR 21 Part 820 Qua...
