Overview
More than 170 million Americans have been affected by Breaches of Unsecured Protected Health Information (PHI) since 2009. A Ransomware attack that encrypts PHI is now presumed to be a HIPAA Breach by Federal regulators. HIPAA Breach Notification Content and Timeliness are 2 of the top Enforcement priorities of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the HIPAA enforcement arm of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Why should you attend this webinar?
Breaches of unsecured PHI is becoming more and more common. The question is not whether a Covered Entity or Business Associate will suffer a Breach. Unfortunately, it is when will you suffer your next (or first) Breach.
You should attend this session to learn exactly what to do if your organization suspects it has suffered a Potential Breach or has been attacked by Ransomware. You will learn how to investigate, assess, determine and document whether you have suffered a Breach of Unsecured PHI that requires Breach Notifications, when and how to provide Breach Notification and the other things you must do when you have a Breach.
There is a secret to HIPAA Compliance. The secret is the HIPAA Rules are easy to follow, step-by-step, when you know the steps.
