How To Become HIPAA Compliant

The Problem Addressed by this Webinar

HIPAA Covered Entities and Business Associates of all types and sizes are at serious risk of health information breaches caused by aggressive criminal attacks and their own lack of attention to protective safeguards required by HIPAA. Admittedly the HIPAA regulations are difficult to read. They are written in a legalistic language and arranged in confusing order with frequent obscure and even inaccurate internal references. However, while the number of health information breaches grows rapidly, the number of private class action lawsuits based on those breaches is growing much faster. Government enforcement is also on the rise, in part to deal with medical identity theft, the fastest-growing and most lucrative type of identity theft in America today.
