The HIPAA Compliance Officer is the backbone of any organization’s compliance program. Often, this role is assigned as a collateral duty in smaller organizations. Regardless of the size of an organization, the HIPAA Compliance Officer must know all the requirements to manage the compliance program. This is a critical element of the position.
Being the HIPAA Compliance Officer involves not only ensuring you know the appropriate patient rights and controls on your uses and disclosures of protected health information, but you also have the proper policies and procedures in place. If the subject of a breach investigation or complaint, you will be required to show the government you have all the necessary documentation in place for safeguarding patient Protected Health Information and indicate how you addressed all required security safeguards. This starts with the fundamentals of a HIPAA compliance program.
If your HIPAA Compliance Officer needs to understand what all the requirements are or make sure the current program is adequate and can withstand government scrutiny, please join us for this informative and interactive seminar.
