Overview: The HIPAA Security Rule requires organizations to evaluate risks and vulnerabilities in their environments and to implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect against reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of e-PHI. This is a key step in preventing breaches from occurring.

Another important aspect that will be covered is how to train a workforce and making sure the proper policies and procedures in place. If audited or the subject of a compliance review you will be required to show the government you have all the necessary documentation in place for safeguarding patient Protected Health Information and indicate how you addressed all required security safeguards.
