Overview: I will address specific litigated cases I have worked where the covered entity 
had to pay out nasty fines to the Federal government and high settlements to patients affected 
by inappropriate usage of the EMR system - I will also address situations where the covered 
entity DID NOT receive any fines or judgements (even in the event of a breach or malicious 
actions) due to the fact they were using the systems in a "compliant manner" I will also be 
addressing how practice managers (or compliance offers) need to understand how to properly 
utilize the EMR system for HIPAA compliance.
I will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule and any other applicable updates for 
2017 and beyond. There are an enormous amount of issues and risks for covered entities and 
business associates these days. I will speak on specific experiences from over 17 years of 
experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor, expert witness on multiple HIPAA 
cases, and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful 
disclosures of private health information. More importantly I will show you how to limit those 
risks by simply taking proactive steps and utilizing best practices. 
Why should you Attend:
EMR systems may be "HIPAA Compliant" out of the box but if not utilized properly they are NOT 
compliantAre you using your EMR system the way it should be utilized for HIPAA Compliance?Are you aware there are serious legal consequences for improper usage of EMR systems?An analogy would be, General Motors makes a car with a 5-star safety rating but if you don't

practice
