All healthcare providers, suppliers, physicians, and insurers should expect more HIPAA enforcement actions from HHS Office for Civil Rights in 2015. They have received more money in the 2015 budget and they expect to collect more fines, so we can expect more activity this year. It is a good time to check that you are complying will all of the HIPAA Privacy Rules and Regulations. Look at potential holes due to phones, laptops, and tablets being unsecured. Make sure you have Business Associates Agreements will all applicable contractors who may have access to your patient information.
We will have Robert Liles speaking at our "Cutting Edge Leadership Summit" in Maui, HI in August of 2015 on the topic of "Shielding Your Company from HIPAA Violations". We have three separate seminars. One for home health, one for hospice and one for private duty. Make plans to attend.
