ForwardHIPAA for Health Centers
As covered entities, health centers must comply with the same HIPAA Rules that apply to other health care providers including large hospitals and hospital systems; however, health centers often have limited time, personnel and resources to commit to HIPAA compliance. Recent HIPAA settlements demonstrate that the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) expects all covered entities (including health centers) to comply with the HIPAA Rules regardless of their size, location or mission. Non-compliance can result in civil monetary penalties and corrective action plans that last at least two years and include substantial oversight by OCR.
This workshop series introduces the key compliance requirements for health centers under the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules – from the Privacy Rule requirements for providing patients with access to their protected health information (PHI), to the Security Rule requirements for conducting security risk analyses and limiting access to electronic PHI to the Breach Notification Rule requirements to investigate and report breaches. Presenters will include the details of recent HIPAA enforcement actions and settlements, updates on changes to the HIPAA Rules (including the HIPAA Privacy Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy), and lots of client stories and time for your questions.
