This 90-minute webinar will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance offers) need to get their HIPAA house in order as breaches are at an all time high and consequently fines are at an all time high 

The webinar will address the new changes which are being implemented to combat the unprecedented breach issues within the healthcare sector.

There are an enormous amounts of issues and risks for covered entities and business associates these days – we will speak to the most common breaches and how to avoid them – both from a technological standpoint and an administrative standpoint.  

I will speak on specific experiences from over 22 years of working as a HIPAA compliance consultant with over 1000 clients throughout the United States

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