Overview
Being in compliance
with HIPAA involves not only ensuring you provide the appropriate
patient rights and controls on your uses and disclosures of protected
health information, but you also have the proper policies and procedures
in place. If audited or the subject of a compliance review you will be
required to show the government you have all the necessary
documentation in place for safeguarding patient Protected Health
Information and indicate how you addressed all required privacy
safeguards. This starts with the fundamentals of understanding a
patient's rights to access their health information under HIPAA.
