I was very interested to read a recent article in Healthcare Info Security about the new HIPAA enforcer’s plans. Roger Severino, the new director of the Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights (OCR), says his top enforcement priority for the coming year is to find a major, egregious privacy breach to use as an example from which others can learn.
The new HIPAA enforcer means business — it’s another good reason to make sure you’re in full compliance. Join our next webinar on September 19th at 3:00 p.m. ET hosted by HealthITSecurity.com to hear from HIPAA officer Iliana L. Peters, J.D. LL.M., the leading source for HIPAA requirements. You’ll get a better understanding of OCR HIPAA audits and OCR’s 2017 to 2018 goals with regard to HIPAA compliance review and enforcement. You’ll also learn about best practices to uncover potential risks and vulnerabilities, and areas where technology can assist with compliance.
