The Role of the HIPAA Security & Privacy Officials

Description

The Role of the HIPAA Security & Privacy Officials are critically important in complying with the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules. Besides being responsible for many of the daily operations within an organization, these officials are tasked with managing the HIPAA compliance program.

Regardless the size of an organization, the HIPAA Security & Privacy Officials must know and understand all the requirements to manage the compliance program.
In some cases, these roles may be assigned as collateral duty in smaller organizations or combined as the HIPAA Compliance Officer.

Being the HIPAA Security & Privacy Official 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 Security & Privacy Officials need 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.
