Hackers, HIPAA and Hype

Understanding Data Safety and Patient Confidentiality

Have you…

• Conducted a technology security review?
• Updated your business associated agreements?
• Had patents sign an updated privacy form?
• Established a disaster plan in the event of a data breach?

If the answer is no, your practice is not compliant with the September 23, 2013 HIPAA Omnibus Final Rule. You are not alone. Most dentists are struggling with the new rules.

As a dental professional you have a moral and legal obligation to protect your patient’s confidentiality. HIPAA compliance consists largely of having the right forms and signatures. On the other hand, there are important real world measures dentists should be taking beyond the paperwork that can make an actual difference in patient data security. In addition to HIPAA there is the HITECH law that calls for severe fines and more to dental offices that experience a data breach.

Program Features: Learn what PHI, CE, NPP, BA and Exempt mean and why it matters. Understand the critical elements of risk assessment, the five basic steps to compliance and four critical elements to prevent a data breach.
