Download or read book The Smart Dentist's Guide to HIPAA and Computer Network Support written by John A. Zanazzi and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When most dentists think of HIPAA, if they think of it at all, they tend to only think of the technical aspects of it. The truth is that most dentists believe that they already have the administration and privacy areas of HIPAA covered. They may have bought a manual, or had a risk analysis done three years ago. The fact is that neither of these solutions will prove to be adequate for HIPAA compliance. Although you may have a manual you purchased from the society, this manual must be personalized, updated and followed. If they are relying on their "IT Guy" without vetting him, they may be setting themselves up for a violation or a data breach. A Risk analysis must be redone at a minimum of every year. Because the risk analysis has many technical questions, typically a Dentist will just pass this task to their "IT Guy" believing the "IT Guy" has HIPAA under control. According to HIPAA, not only does your "IT Guy" have to understand HIPAA, he is a Business Associate. Because most requests to access ePHI involve the computer network, he should help regulate your other Business Associates. Because Business Associates often will have access to your ePHI, it is imperative that you analyze each request for network access. When it comes to the technical part of HIPAA, if a person you choose to safeguard your computer network ( in addition to your practice's privacy policy) does not understand HIPAA, you run the risk of not being ready for a HIPAA audit. If you are relying on their "IT Guy" without screening him, you may be setting yourselves up for a HIPAA violation or a data breach. Most IT guys do not know HIPAA Risk analyses must be redone at a minimum of every year. More often when there are major network changes.

Download or read book Easy Guide to HIPAA Risk Assessments written by Lori-Ann Rickard and published by Expert Health Press. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk assessments are required under the Health Insurance and Accountability Act of 1996, better known as HIPAA. HIPAA is the federal statute that requires healthcare providers to safeguard patient identities, medical records and protected health information (“PHI”). It further requires organizations that handle PHI to regularly review the administrative, physical and technical safeguards they have in place. Basically, HIPAA took established confidentiality healthcare practices of physicians and healthcare providers to protect patients’ information and made it law. Risk assessments are a key requirement of complying with HIPAA. Covered entities must complete a HIPAA risk assessment to determine their risks, and protect their PHI from breaches and unauthorized access to protected information. There are many components of risk assessments, which can often seem burdensome on healthcare providers. Let Lori-Ann Rickard and Lauren Sullivan guide you and your company as you tackle the risk assessments required by HIPAA.

This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Definitive Guide to Complying with the HIPAA/HITECH Privacy and Security Rules is a comprehensive manual to ensuring compliance with the implementation standards of the Privacy and Security Rules of HIPAA and provides recommendations based on other related regulations and industry best practices. The book is designed to assist you in reviewing the accessibility of electronic protected health information (EPHI) to make certain that it is not altered or destroyed in an unauthorized manner, and that it is available as needed only by authorized individuals for authorized use. It can also help those entities that may not be covered by HIPAA regulations but want to assure their customers they are doing their due diligence to protect their personal and private information. Since HIPAA/HITECH rules generally apply to covered entities, business associates, and their subcontractors, these rules may soon become de facto standards for all companies to follow. Even if you aren’t required to comply at this time, you may soon fall within the HIPAA/HITECH purview. So, it is best to move your procedures in the right direction now. The book covers administrative, physical, and technical safeguards; organizational requirements; and policies, procedures, and documentation requirements. It provides sample documents and directions on using the policies and procedures to establish proof of compliance. This is critical to help prepare entities for a HIPAA assessment or in the event of an HHS audit. Chief information officers and security officers who master the principles in this book can be confident they have taken the proper steps to protect their clients’ information and strengthen their security posture. This can provide a strategic advantage to their organization, demonstrating to clients that they not only care about their health and well-being, but are also vigilant about protecting their clients’ privacy.
