The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a series of regulatory standards that outline the lawful use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI) including Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). Any organization that is a Covered Entity or Business Associate under HIPAA regulations must complete an annual security risk assessment, then maintain a supporting risk management plan for a potential HHS/OCR audit.
The failure to comply with HIPAA regulations can result in substantial fines being issued – even if no breach of PHI occurs – while breaches can result in criminal charges and civil action lawsuits being filed. A data breach doesn’t just cost you money; it costs you time, resources, and trust.
Learn more about what a HIPAA Risk Assessment entails in this webinar. You will learn:
- The framework Tego utilizes to conduct HIPAA Risk Assessments
- The difference between a Covered Entity and a Business Associate and why both pertain to HIPAA compliance
- Best practices for protecting patient data to avoid a breach or fine.
This webinar is presented by Greg Manson, VP of Security, Audit, and Compliance at Tego.
