WEBINAR DETAILS

Privacy laws and HIPAA require healthcare companies to respect and protect the privacy of the organization, employees, patients, job applicants, and other internal and external parties. To that end, mandatory rules must be established and enforced for the acquisition, use, transmission, disclosure, retention, and deletion of confidential and sensitive information, including protected health information (PHI/EPHI), personally identifiable information (PII), and business records. Noncompliance and security breaches could result in HIPAA audits, litigation, civil and criminal penalties, monetary fines, disgruntled patients, lost revenues, ruined reputations, and blemished brands.

This webinar will provide strategies and best practices for the creation and implementation of policies and procedures governing confidential and sensitive information, records retention, and electronic business communications tools. It will distinguish inconsequential data from confidential and sensitive information and explain the difference between records and non-records. Participants will learn how to apply privacy dos and don'ts and train onsite, remote, and hybrid staff to adhere to P&Ps. Attend this jam-packed program to minimize risks, maintain information integrity, and maximize compliance.

Bonus: You will receive two professionally written policy samples, Confidential & Sensitive Information Policy for the Healthcare Industry and Record Retention Policy for the Healthcare Industry, which can be used immediately.
