Lecture Description:

Recent changes to HIPAA rules have clarified the potential fines and penalties for noncompliance up to as much as $1.5 million. Many practices that have had to report breaches have lost upwards of 25% of their patients immediately. Dr. Lavine walks attendees through a step-by-step game plan that details the policies and procedures that practices must implement to move toward full compliance.

Learning Objectives:

  • Illuminate HIPAA, HITECH, and Omnibus guidelines
  • Understand how regulations affect the need for privacy and security of the practice’s data
  • Recognize the software systems available to help move you toward compliance
