However, while the number of health information breaches grows rapidly, the number of private class action lawsuits based on those breaches is growing much faster.

The Secret to HIPAA Compliance The HIPAA Rules are a blueprint to prevent health information breaches. And there is a secret to HIPAA compliance – HIPAA Rules are easy to follow step-by-step when you know the steps. Key Points HIPAA compliance is a well-defined process to systematically identify and address risks to the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI). This webinar will explain the steps that make up that process using plain language and engaging diagrams. Areas Covered in this Webinar What is HIPAA? Who must comply with HIPAA?
