Managing mobile device use is challenging, especially with millions working from home. Regardless of whether employees are working onsite or remotely, employers are obligated to protect the privacy of patients, employees, and other internal and external parties. PHI and other confidential and sensitive information must be safeguarded. Organizations are required to preserve, protect, produce, and purge business records. Failure to do so could result in costly lawsuits, time-consuming HIPAA audits, disgruntled patients and family members, lost revenues, and painful publicity. Do not allow employees to play fast-and-loose with the content they create, transmit, post, retain, and delete on mobile devices.

This program will provide a recap of how a best practices-based mobile device policy can reduce the likelihood of HIPAA violations, increase legal compliance, and enhance communications. Participants will receive a sample healthcare confidential and sensitive information policy, along with mobile device rules and records retention rules. These value-added tools are designed to help organizations create a compliant mobile device policy program.

This informative session is a must for human resources personnel, training staff, legal teams, compliance personnel, IT staff, privacy and security staff, records managers, and anyone responsible for electronic policy and compliance. Anyone communicating via mobile devices will benefit from attending.
