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?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk assessments are required under the Health Insurance and Accountability Act of 1996, better known as HIPAA. HIPAA is the federal statute that requires healthcare providers to safeguard patient identities, medical records and protected health information (“PHI”). It further requires organizations that handle PHI to regularly review the administrative, physical and technical safeguards they have in place. Basically, HIPAA took established confidentiality healthcare practices of physicians and healthcare providers to protect patients’ information and made it law. Risk assessments are a key requirement of complying with HIPAA. Covered entities must complete a HIPAA risk assessment to determine their risks, and protect their PHI from breaches and unauthorized access to protected information. There are many components of risk assessments, which can often seem burdensome on healthcare providers. Let Lori-Ann Rickard and Lauren Sullivan guide you and your company as you tackle the risk assessments required by HIPAA.
