HIPAA Compliance for a Practice Manager

This training program will examine the practice or office manager’s role and strengths in any healthcare office. Besides being responsible for many of the daily operations within an office, the practice manager is often tasked with managing the HIPAA compliance program - knowing what is required is critically important.

Why Should You Attend:

Being in compliance with HIPAA involves not only ensuring you provide the appropriate patient rights and controls on your uses and disclosures of protected health information, but you also have the proper policies and procedures in place. If audited or the subject of a compliance review, you will be required to show the government you have all the necessary documentation in place for safeguarding patient Protected Health Information and indicate how you addressed all required security safeguards. This starts with the fundamentals of a HIPAA compliance program.
