How to Conduct a HIPAA Risk Assessment
Overview:
This course delivers a structured methodology for conducting a HIPAA Risk Assessment, aligned with the framework employed by Federal auditors and the guidelines established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Participants will also gain critical insights into the Federal audit process and the emerging legal risks associated with patient lawsuits for wrongful disclosures of protected health information.
Why you should Attend:
Have you performed a comprehensive HIPAA Risk Assessment for your organization?
Are you aware that a risk assessment is the primary document requested by Federal authorities during an audit?
Is your current risk assessment thorough and defensible?
Do you possess written policies for every implementation specification within the HIPAA Security Rule, including those deemed non-applicable? Understanding this requirement is essential.
This session provides a point-by-point guide to executing a proper risk assessment and how to identify inadequate, templated solutions in the marketplace. We will emphasize the critical role of the risk assessment as the cornerstone of HIPAA compliance and the first item scrutinized by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
Attendees will receive instruction on developing compliant policies and procedures based directly on their risk assessment findings, including how to phrase these documents to meet regulatory expectations. The course will also cover the necessity of ensuring policies align with actual operational procedures and the significant pitfalls of using generic, non-specific templates during a Federal review.
