Practical News and Strategies for Complying With HIPAA

Security breaches — driven by human error, identity thieves and sloppy use of new technology — are becoming commonplace … and the costs for notification and clean-up can be devastating. And after eight years of lax enforcement, the government — which just doled out $5 million in HIPAA penalties — is now armed and dangerous. Report on Patient Privacy is the industry’s most effective HIPAA information source for hospitals, providers, health plans and other covered entities that need to understand and comply with complex privacy and security requirements.

Report on Patient Privacy provides ongoing coverage of privacy and security measures. This highly practical print and Web-based service will help your organization safeguard patient privacy and data security ... and reduce your chances of fines and penalties, private lawsuits and public relations nightmares in areas such as:

  • Federal breach notification rules,
  • New rules related to business associates, subcontractors and “agents,”
  • Changes in the already complex “minimum necessity” standard,
  • An extension of the dreaded “accounting for disclosures” rules to EHRs,
  • Tighter rules for fundraising and marketing,
  • A new tiered (and potentially very expensive) approach to civil monetary penalties for noncompliance,
  • New privacy and security risks created by social networking, and
  • Different ways that covered entities are wrestling with the issue of encryption.

This valuable two-part subscription service includes:

  1. Report on Patient Privacy, AIS’s industry-leading monthly newsletter, a copy of which will be mailed to you and posted — along with three years of searchable back issues — on the subscriber-only website. Check out a sample issue of the industry-leading Report on Patient Privacy.
  2. Access to the industry’s most exhaustive HIPAA privacy and security website, which features:
    • 31 detailed narrative sections of guidance written by experts on every HIPAA compliance topic from A to Z (see listing below). These exhaustive treatments are packed with sample forms, policies, procedures, decision trees and other practical tools you can adapt to your privacy and security compliance programs ... and it’s updated regularly.
    • Links to critical government documents required for compliance with privacy and security regulations and other related federal requirements.
    • Searchable archives of the monthly newsletter Report on Patient Privacy.
    • Recent stories of interest and hot topic articles grouped for convenient reading, and
