Report on Patient Privacy
Practical News and Strategies for Complying With HIPAA
The health industry’s #1 source of timely news and business strategies for safeguarding patient privacy and data security. Published for hospitals and other providers, health plans and other HIPAA covered entities and business associates, the 12-page newsletter focuses on privacy issues that can result in huge fines, penalties and public relations nightmares, including: security breach notification; business associate relations and agreements; and new federal privacy rules for marketing, fundraising, privacy notices, minimum necessary, patient rights and safeguarding privacy in EHRs. Annual subscriptions include 12 issues of Report on Patient Privacy (with print and electronic delivery) and access to a subscriber-only website with 32 narrative sections by experts (packed with policies, procedures and practical tools), links to all pertinent documents, and searchable archives of the newsletter.
Please click the "1-year Renewal" button above, before choosing your bonus report.
Make sure you continue receiving timely news and reliable strategies on HIPAA privacy and security compliance.
Many factors are now conspiring to create HIPAA privacy and security risks for your organization that have grown exponentially.
Security breaches — driven by human error, identity thieves and sloppy use of new technology — are becoming commonplace … and the costs for notification and clean-up can be devastating. And that’s before HHS and your state attorney general get involved to investigate what went wrong!
The two-year-old HITECH Act has generated mounds of new regulations and compliance requirements, many of which are still not final, in areas such as:
- Federal breach notification rules, which turn breaches into reportable events (now on file at OCR for future reference) and larger breaches into quick PR nightmares,
- Complex new rules related to business associates, subcontractors and “agents,”
- Changes in the already complex “minimum necessity” standard,
- An extension of the dreaded “accounting for disclosures” rules to EHRs, and
- A new tiered (and potentially very expensive) approach to civil monetary penalties.
Renew your subscription today and you’ll continue to receive timely news and analysis on all of the new regulations coming down the pike ... and in-depth stories on what all of this means for hospitals, health plans, providers and other covered entities.
HIPAA compliance recently became an enormous new challenge for health care privacy and compliance officers ... and Report on Patient Privacy will be your roadmap to compliance for the year to come. Your one-year subscription renewal includes:
- 12 issues of Report on Patient Privacy, a copy of which will be mailed to you and posted — along with three years of searchable back issues — on the subscriber-only website.
- Access to the industry’s most exhaustive HIPAA privacy and security website, which features:
- 32 detailed narrative sections written by experts on every HIPAA compliance topic from A to Z (see listing below). These exhaustive treatments are packed with sample forms, policies, procedures, decision trees and other practical tools you can adapt to your privacy and security compliance programs ... and it’s updated regularly.
- Links to critical government documents required for compliance with privacy and security regulations and other related federal requirements.
- Searchable archives of the monthly newsletter Report on Patient Privacy.
- Recent stories of interest and hot topic articles grouped for convenient reading, and
- Regular postings from your editor.
