Everyone who handles any electronic patient information should attend this live audio conference on compliance with the HIPAA security regulation. All entities covered under HIPAA must take special care of electronic patient health information, including establishing policies and taking regular actions as part of a security management process. Under new regulations due to the HITECH Act more entities than ever need to be in compliance, and HHS compliance audit activity and enforcement penalties are both increased, especially in instances of willful neglect of compliance. If your security fails, you now may be liable under breach notification requirements, which have significant financial and reputational ramifications on top of penalties. If you are now taking on an EHR, it's especially important to make sure you have instituted your information security management process to protect patient information and meet the privacy and security objective required for federal EHR funding qualification. Learn what it takes to get in compliance and stay there, even as your operations and environment change. Find out what administrative, physical and technical safeguards are necessary, and how you decide what's right for HIPAA security compliance for your organization.

Attend this live audio conference to learn what kinds of entities are now covered under the HIPAA Security Rule, and find out how the rules have changed and will continue to change. You will hear the questions you are likely to be asked in a HIPAA security compliance audit, and learn how to go about developing and implementing your compliance plan. Discover how information flow analysis and risk analysis can make sense of your compliance objectives and meet the privacy and security meaningful use required objective for funding qualification, and find out about the special security challenges of remote access and portable devices. Attend this live audio conference to find out the top security issues health care information security professionals are wrestling with today, and come away with a six-step plan to organize your security compliance project.
