Overview: 

Being in compliance with HIPAA involves not only ensuring you provide 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.

This starts with the understanding the fundamentals of the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

If your healthcare practice needs to understand what is required to protect health records or make sure your current safeguards are adequate and can withstand government scrutiny, please join us for this informative and interactive course.
