The "HIPAA Training for the Compliance Officer" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This lesson will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance officers) need to get their HIPAA house in order as HIPAA is now fully enforced and the government is not using kid gloves any more.

It will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule and any other applicable updates for 2018 and beyond.

Covers specific experiences from over 17 years of experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor, expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases, and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health information.

More importantly the course will show you how to limit those risks by simply taking proactive steps and utilizing best practices.

We will go into detail on the highest risk factors and how they commonly occur.

We will be discussing 2018 changes taking place in Washington with the Health and Human Services in regards to the enforcement of the HIPAA laws already on the books as well as some detailed discussions on the audit process as well as some current events regarding HIPAA cases (both in courtrooms and from live audits).
