PART 3: Fulfill HIPAA Compliance Training Requirements for Your Practice Staff
Attend the live session on Tuesday, November 19th at 1:00pm ET OR,
Order the On-Demand Recording to Watch at Your Convenience.
HIPAA compliance training for your practice staff isn't a choice — it's mandatory.
If your practice is among the 94% of practices that submit patient information electronically (including faxing), then you are required to comply - whether you see Medicare patients or not.
Ignoring this requirement can expose you to penalties ranging from $141 to $71K per violation. And under certain circumstances, the consequences might be even more severe, including higher penalties and even jail.
To make matters worse, HIPAA doesn’t clearly spell out what your HIPAA compliance training must include. It only references general requirements such as a covered entity must train all members of its workforce on the entity’s policies and procedures, and such policies and procedures must be “reasonably designed” to ensure compliance.
So, how can you make sure that the HIPAA compliance training you provide meets requirements and protects you against violation penalties? The answer is not to do it on your own. Instead, depend on healthcare attorney and HIPAA compliance expert, Erica Beacom, JD.
On Tuesday, November 19th at 1pm ET, Erica will present a 90-minute online plain-English HIPAA compliance training event that you can make available to your entire team. In fact, choosing the on-demand version as well allows each staff member to attend when it is convenient for them (24/7).
Check out the practical, expert advice you’ll receive by signing up for Erica’s online training event:
- Make sure your HIPAA compliance plan can withstand government scrutiny
- Mitigate the risk of innocent mistakes leading to costly HIPAA breaches
- Pin down HIPAA training requirements and how to most effectively comply
- Protect your practice from a business associate (vendor) breach with proven vetting tactics
- Incorporate the most important aspects of a HIPAA compliance program and protect your practice
- Avoid repeat fines by having a proven action plan on standby should a HIPAA breach occur
