3-Hour Virtual Seminar on The HIPAA Compliance Program for 2019-20: New Focus, New Process.

Overview
Brian will uncover myths versus reality as it relates to this very enigmatic law based on over 1000 risk assessments performed as well as years of experience in dealing directly with the Office of Civil Rights HIPAA auditors.

Brian will also speak about real life audits conducted by the Federal government (He has been on both sides of these audits) what your highest risks are for being fined (some of the risk factors may surprise you). In addition, this course will cover the highest risk factors for being sued for wrongful disclosures of PHI and the manner in which patients are now using state laws to sue for wrongful disclosures. Brian will also go into great detail all of the new guidelines and rules which are now in place.
