HIPAA: A Risk Assessment is NOT Enough
Compliancy Group will present a complimentary webinar discussing the common misconception that “A risk assessment makes me HIPAA compliant.”
The webinar will be Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2-3 p.m. Eastern time.
The thought that a risk assessment always brings HIPAA compliance can cost your practice more than taking no action at all, said a spokesman for Compliancy Group. A risk assessment is a requirement for HITECH under Meaningful Use Core Measure 15, but it does NOT make you HIPAA compliant. Furthermore, it can enter you into the section of willful neglect and open your organization into the next level of fines.
Industry experts will discuss how to achieve Meaningful Use, HITECH and HIPAA compliance while protecting your practice.
