HIPAA Compliance starts before the patient enters the building

A large portion of HIPAA regulations refer to the policies and procedures of the physical medical practice, from categories of facility precautions, office equipment precautions, and staff precautions.

These violations are extremely common and can be noticed by auditors while sitting in the waiting room. Even just a patient’s full name being said in a common area, or an employee stepping away from their computer without logging off, can constitute a HIPAA violation.

In this live webinar, we will focus on the questions which seem simple, but are still important or even vital:

  • Discuss HIPAA standards all employees need to know
  • Breakdown those physical office requirements which are frequently missed
  • Answer the question of what constitutes PHI and ePHI violations in Common Spaces
  • An explanation of proper record maintenance and disposal methods

Don’t miss this informative webinar where you will gain insights into HIPAA standards, frequently missed physical office requirements, and the different PHI and ePHI violations surrounding Common Spaces.
