Mobile Device Risks, Records & Rules: Using Policy to Manage Compliance

Managing mobile device use has become increasingly challenging with millions working from home, far from management’s watchful eye. Whether employees are working onsite or at home, employers are obligated to protect the privacy of patients, employees, job applicants, and others. Confidential and protected health information (PHI) must be constantly safeguarded, while also preserving, protecting, producing, and purging business records. Failure to do so could result in costly lawsuits, time-consuming HIPAA audits, disgruntled patients and families, lost revenue, and negative publicity.

Do not allow remote or onsite employees, especially those following a bring-your-own device (BYOD) policy, to play fast-and-loose with content created, transmitted, posted, retained, and deleted on mobile devices. Attend this informative session to learn how a best practices-based mobile device policy can help reduce online disasters, increase legal compliance, and enhance communication. Attendees will receive sample policy for confidential and sensitive information, record retention guidelines, and other tools to create a compliant mobile device policy.

This informative session is a must for anyone responsible for e-policy and compliance, including human resources personnel, training managers, healthcare attorneys, compliance officers, IT staff, privacy officers, records managers, and security personnel. All staff members who communicate healthcare information electronically will benefit.
