As covered entities under the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), hospices and home care providers are required to manage patients’ electronic protected health information (ePHI) and paper-based medical records in compliance with HIPAA privacy and security rules. Noncompliance can lead to seven-figure fines, negative publicity, unhappy patients, and damaged reputations.  Are you confident your organization is lawfully managing electronic and traditional paper-based PHI?  Have you established policies and strategies to ensure compliance with HIPAA’s privacy and security rules?  Are your business associates, including physicians and subcontractors, in compliance?  Join us to learn about HIPAA risks, policies, and compliance management best practices.
