HIPAA Compliance Monitoring and Auditing

We’ll use real-world examples to help explain the Privacy Rule, which governs patient rights and disclosure of protected health information (PHI), We’ll explain what’s meant by covered entities (CE), business associates (BA), and many other relationships within the health care industry impacted by HIPAA.

Since computer systems currently are an integral part of health care and clinical research, we’ll see how they fit into the Security Rule. We’ll also examine administrative safeguards, physical safeguards, technical safeguards, and policy and procedure creation—all of which are crucial components of the Security Rule.

Last, but not least, we’ll focus on the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), HIPAA’s “watchdog” organization, and learn about the civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance.
