HIPAA - Emailing, Texting, and Personal Devices (myths vs realities)

Compliance Key -  Hipaa Webinar

Overview
This lesson will be going into great detail regarding you practice or business information technology and how it relates to the HIPAA/HITECH Security Rule and securing PHI in transmission.

I will go through multiple examples and specific scenarios and also offer simple common-sense solutions.
Areas covered will be texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data, personal devices, and risk factors.
I will uncover myths versus reality as it relates to this very enigmatic law based on over 1000 risk assessments performed as well as years of experience in dealing directly with the Office of Civil Rights HIPAA auditors.

I will speak on specific experiences from over 18 years of experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor, expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases in state law, and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health information.

More importantly I will show you how to limit those risks by simply taking proactive steps and utilizing best practices.
Don?t always believe what you read online about HIPAA, especially as it relates to encryption and IT, there are a lot of groups selling more than is necessarily required.
Why should you attend this webinar?
Confused about all of the misinformation relating to HIPAA, what you can and can't do? Let me get those questions FINALLY answered for you once and for all!
There is unfortunately a lot of confusion about transmissions of protected health information and what we as business associates and covered entities need to do and what we SHOULD NOT do!

It is important to understand the new changes going on at Health and Human Services as it relates to enforcement of HIPAA for both covered entities and business associates as it relates to portable devices, texting, emailing, and transmission in general of protected health information (PHI).

You need to know how to avoid being low hanging fruit in terms of audit risk as well as being sued by individuals who have had their PHI wrongfully discloses due to bad IT practices.
I have also been expert witness on multiple court cases where a business or medical practice is being sued for not doing their due diligence to minimize risk.
These day's trial attorney's pose a higher risk than the Federal government!

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.
