Download or read book The Basics of HIPAA Compliance written by Apex Legal Publishing and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-09-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended as a training tool for employees, this short but comprehensive manual introduces and explains all the core concepts involved in managing and handling health care information in compliance with HIPAA regulations. Also includes a glossary of HIPAA terms and phrases. Training, in some form, is required under HIPAA regulations, but the rules are vague as to what form that training should take. Training should be provided "as necessary and appropriate for members of the workforce to carry out their functions" (HIPAA Privacy Rule) and covered entities and business associates should "implement a security awareness and training program for all members of the workforce" (HIPAA Security Rule). There is no requirement that calls for video sessions, exams or certificates. Jump-start your HIPAA training program and quickly get to the all-important "good faith effort" benchmark by distributing this manual to employees who handle patient records, scheduling a question-and-answer meeting after they've read the manual, and having them sign and submit the training acknowledgement form included at the back of the book. Retain the acknowledgement forms and a record of the meeting to document your training, as required by HIPAA. If you do not have a comprehensive HIPAA compliance program in place, getting your people through a basic training program and documenting that fact should not be delayed while you develop your policies, procedures and advanced training programs. This manual should not be substituted for a comprehensive ongoing training program where advanced training is provided for company-specific procedures or specific job responsibilities. Please be advised, however, that NO training program, no matter how expensive or extensive, can guaratee that any individual auditor or investigator will approve. your efforts. The regulatory authorities do not license, accredit or certify any trainers or training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIPAA Security Made Simple: Practical Compliance Advice for Covered Entities and Business Associates, Second Edition Kate Borten, CISSP, CISM Synopsis Written by highly respected author Kate Borten, CISSP, CISM, this updated edition explains how the Omnibus Rule affects organizations that are subject to HIPAA. It will help facilities and business associates understand how they and their information security programs can remain in compliance with new and continuing regulatory requirements. This second edition emphasizes that security is not a one-time project and reminds readers that they should already be performing risk assessments to comply with the HIPAA Security Rule. A new Introduction explains the significance of the HITECH Act and the Omnibus Rule to covered entities and their business associates (BA). HITECH made BAs directly liable for Security Rule compliance, and the Omnibus Rule went further, revising the definition to include all downstream subcontractors with access to PHI. This closed a major loophole in privacy protection, significantly expanding the number of organizations deemed BAs and directly subject to HIPAA compliance and enforcement. This book explains how HIPAA and the Omnibus Rule do the following: Clarify the definition of BA, which now includes all downstream subcontractors with access to PHI Clarify that covered entities and BAs must have ongoing programs to protect electronic PHI, including regular updates to security documentation Revise and modernize the definition of electronic media to align it with the terminology used by the National Institute of Standards and Technology Ensure that access termination procedures apply to all workforce members, not only to employees Encourage encryption but not require it across the board Table of Contents: Introduction HITECH Act and Omnibus Rule Impact on Security Chapter One: HIPAA Security Introduction and Overview What is HIPAA?

Download or read book Building a HIPAA Compliant Cybersecurity Program written by Eric C. Thompson and published by Apress. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use this book to learn how to conduct a timely and thorough Risk Analysis and Assessment documenting all risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI), which is a key component of the HIPAA Security Rule. The requirement is a focus area for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) during breach investigations and compliance audits. This book lays out a plan for healthcare organizations of all types to successfully comply with these requirements and use the output to build upon the cybersecurity program. With the proliferation of cybersecurity breaches, the number of healthcare providers, payers, and business associates investigated by the OCR has risen significantly. It is not unusual for additional penalties to be levied when victims of breaches cannot demonstrate that an enterprise-wide risk assessment exists, comprehensive enough to document all of the risks to ePHI. Why is it that so many covered entities and business associates fail to comply with this fundamental safeguard? Building a HIPAA Compliant Cybersecurity Program cuts through the confusion and ambiguity of regulatory requirements and provides detailed guidance to help readers: Understand and document all known instances where patient data exist Know what regulators want and expect from the risk analysis process Assess and analyze the level of severity that each risk poses to ePHI Focus on the beneficial outcomes of the process: understanding real risks, and optimizing deployment of resources and alignment with business objectives What You’ll Learn Use NIST 800-30 to execute a risk analysis and assessment, which meets the expectations of regulators such as the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) Understand why this is not just a compliance exercise, but a way to take back control of protecting ePHI Leverage the risk analysis process to improve your cybersecurity program Know the value of integrating technical assessments to further define risk management activities Employ an iterative process that continuously assesses the environment to identify improvement opportunities Who This Book Is For Cybersecurity, privacy, and compliance professionals working for organizations responsible for creating, maintaining, storing, and protecting patient information

Download or read book The Definitive Guide to Complying with the HIPAA HITECH Privacy and Security Rules written by John J. Trinckes, Jr. and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Definitive Guide to Complying with the HIPAA/HITECH Privacy and Security Rules is a comprehensive manual to ensuring compliance with the implementation standards of the Privacy and Security Rules of HIPAA and provides recommendations based on other related regulations and industry best practices. The book is designed to assist you in reviewing the accessibility of electronic protected health information (EPHI) to make certain that it is not altered or destroyed in an unauthorized manner, and that it is available as needed only by authorized individuals for authorized use. It can also help those entities that may not be covered by HIPAA regulations but want to assure their customers they are doing their due diligence to protect their personal and private information. Since HIPAA/HITECH rules generally apply to covered entities, business associates, and their subcontractors, these rules may soon become de facto standards for all companies to follow. Even if you aren’t required to comply at this time, you may soon fall within the HIPAA/HITECH purview. So, it is best to move your procedures in the right direction now. The book covers administrative, physical, and technical safeguards; organizational requirements; and policies, procedures, and documentation requirements. It provides sample documents and directions on using the policies and procedures to establish proof of compliance. This is critical to help prepare entities for a HIPAA assessment or in the event of an HHS audit. Chief information officers and security officers who master the principles in this book can be confident they have taken the proper steps to protect their clients’ information and strengthen their security posture. This can provide a strategic advantage to their organization, demonstrating to clients that they not only care about their health and well-being, but are also vigilant about protecting their clients’ privacy.
