Event Description

Overview:    This webinar explains the inter-connected Breach Notification Rule requirements of Covered Entities and Business Associates when a Business Associate or Subcontractor Business Associate suffers a Breach. And it covers the special, more restrictive compliance requirements when a Business Associate or Subcontractor is an Agent under the Federal Common Law of Agency - including how to avoid creating an Agency relationship by mistake.

Why should you Attend: More than 170 million Americans have been affected by Breaches of Unsecured Protected Health Information (PHI) since 2009. A Ransomware attack that encrypts PHI is now presumed to be a HIPAA Breach by Federal regulators. HIPAA Breach Notification Content and Timeliness are 2 of the top Enforcement priorities of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the HIPAA enforcement arm of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. The question is not whether a Covered Entity or Business Associate will suffer a Breach. Unfortunately, it is when will you suffer your next (or first) Breach.

You should attend this session to learn exactly what to do if your organization suspects it has suffered a Potential Breach or has been attacked by Ransomware. You will learn how to investigate, assess, determine and document whether you have suffered a Breach of Unsecured PHI that requires Breach Notifications, when and how to provide Breach Notification and the other things you must do when you have a Breach. There is a secret to HIPAA Compliance. The secret is the HIPAA Rules are easy to follow, step-by-step, when you know the steps. In this session you will learn and see the 5 steps of HIPAA Breach Notification Tule compliance explained clearly in plain language.
