Is your risk assessment adequate?
Do you have written policies in place for every single one of the implementation specification of the HIPAA Security Rule (even ones that don't apply) - do you know this is required!!
I will show how to conduct a PROPER risk assessment point by point and how to also avoid scams in the market. We will also be discussing the absolute importance of doing a risk assessment and that this is the first thing the OCR will ask for. I will instruct the listeners on how to write proper policies and procedures which are to be based upon the findings of the risk assessment and how to word the policies to satisfy the Fed.
