Top 7 HIPAA Blind spots & How to Fix Them

Available On Demand

Devices, platforms, programs, and systems cannot be HIPAA-compliant. Only healthcare-related organizations and their business associates accomplish that, by deploying technology that supports sound policy and carefully managed practices. This creates a broad surface of potential exposure requiring protection, and it’s easy for common blind spots to become costly violations. In this session, we explore the top 7 technology-related HIPAA blind spots and discuss how to prevent them from causing an audit failure or non-compliance fines.

The blind spots we’ll discuss include:

1. Keeping Records on Unsecured Systems

2. Failure to Encrypt All Data

3. Internal and External Hacking, Phishing, and Other Social Engineering

4. Poorly or Untrained Employees

5. Loss or Theft of Laptops, Tablets, and other Devices

6. Improper Record and Device Disposal

7. Disclosure of PHI by Business Associates and Other Third Parties

HIPAA Compliance is not “set-it-and-forget-it” but careful planning and thorough execution make it highly manageable. Join Channel Futures Contributor Howard M. Cohen and Joshua Foltz, CISO at eFolder/Axcient, as they break down these blind spots and how you can keep your organization compliant.
