Texting and emailing as part of HIPAA 2016

[Roger Steven]

All the major players in an organization that is required to carry out HIPAA audits, such as information technology managers, business managers and compliance officers, have to be conversant with all aspects of the HIPAA Security Rule as it relates to portable devices. They need to be thoroughly clear about all areas such as texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data and risk factors as they relate to IT.

In addition, they also need to be aware of the major changes and any other applicable updates that relate to HIPAA for 2016. Texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data and risk factors as they relate to IT are some of the grey areas of a HIPAA audit, and those in charge of an organization’s compliance need to be thoroughly knowledgeable about all these, or else they have a good chance of goofing up their HIPAA audit, the result of which is heavy penalty.
