Why should you Attend:

More than $50 million in HIPAA fines and penalties have been imposed since the act was created. In 2015, almost 120,000,000 individuals were affected by HIPAA data breaches. This has led to a substantial increase in HIPAA enforcement resulting in much higher fines and penalties. The U.S. Congress has inquired about recent and very sizeable increases in cyber-attacks that inflect the risk of medical identity theft and asked HHS for increased HIPAA enforcement. And with the Phase 2 Audit program underway, selected Covered Entities and Business Associates received written notifications they are going to be audited.

 

Attendees will leave the course learning how to avoid possible HIPAA fines and penalties by making sure their organization has all the requirements in place for a compliance program.
