Responsibilities of the HIPAA Privacy Officer - Ensuring Compliance and Avoiding Penalties 2016

Overview:

With the implementation of new HIPAA regulations in the HIPAA Omnibus Update of 2013 and increased enforcement and audit activity, healthcare organizations are reviewing their compliance and making sure they have the proper policies, procedures, and forms in place. HIPAA Privacy Officers have been renewing their compliance activities and reviewing their documentation to make sure they can meet the challenges of the new rules and avoid breaches and penalties for compliance violations. HHS has been issuing new guidance and new enforcement settlements, providing extensive insights into what is permissible behavior by a covered entity, and what is not. The session will provide background on the guidance and enforcement activity, identifying key issues for HIPAA Privacy Officers to focus on.

This session is designed to provide intensive training in HIPAA Privacy Rule compliance, including what's new in the regulations, what needs to change in your organization, and what needs to be addressed for compliance by covered entities and business associates. The session provides the background and details for any healthcare information privacy officer to know what are the most important privacy issues, what needs to be done for HIPAA compliance, and what can happen when compliance is not adequate. Audits and enforcement, and how Privacy regulations relate to Security and Breach regulations will be explained, as well as responding to privacy and security breaches and ways to prevent them. Numerous references will be provided.

The session includes an overview of the HIPAA regulations and then continues with presentation of the specifics of the Privacy Rule and recent changes to the rules, including the impacts of required changes in your practices to meet the new rules. The session continues with a discussion of HIPAA Security Rule and Breach Notification requirements, including what you need to do to protect information and what you have to do if you don't, and concludes with discussion of the essential activities of documenting policies, procedures, and activities, training staff and managers in the issues and policies they need to know about, and examining compliance readiness through drills and self-audits. HIPAA compliance has never been easy, and it's getting more complicated. Taking the time now to be sure you know your responsbilities as a Privacy Officer has never been more important.
