2024 HIPAA Texting and Emailing - Do's and Don'ts

90 Minutes

Recorded Webinar

Overview

This 90-minute webinar will be going into detail regarding your practice (or business) information technology and how it relates to the HIPAA/HITECH Security Rule and securing PHI in transmission – what is required and what is myth… 

I will go through multiple examples and specific scenarios and offer simple common-sense solutions.  I will also discuss the “do’s and don’ts” relating to encryption and updated bulletins provided by the Office for Civil Rights.

Areas covered will be texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data, personal devices, and risk factors. 

I will uncover myths versus reality as it relates to this very enigmatic law based on over 1000 risk assessments performed as well as years of experience in dealing directly with the Office for Civil Rights HIPAA auditors.   

I will speak on specific experiences from over 18 years of experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor, expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases in state law, and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health information.  

More importantly I will show you how to limit those risks by simply taking proactive steps and utilizing best practices.

Don’t always believe what you read online about HIPAA, especially as it relates to encryption and IT, there are a lot of groups selling more than is necessarily required.
