I’m giving a free webinar sponsored by Sophos this coming Wednesday, June 22: “10 Risk-Reducing Actions for Mobile HIPAA/HITECH Compliance.” Here is more information about it:
“The adoption of mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet PCs are on the rise in the healthcare industry. These devices store large amounts of sensitive and confidential data creating a new security challenge for the IT manager.
Join Rebecca Herold, compliance and data security expert, to understand how the use of mobile devices impacts your security policies and your HIPAA and HITECH compliance responsibilities. She’ll cover these key topics and more:
• HIPAA and HITECH compliance regulations
• Biggest information security and privacy risks related to using mobile devices
• Effective ways to reduce the risks while meeting compliance requirements”
And yes, I am still planning to post more messages about the Accounting of Disclosures proposal! I need need to find the time to write some thoughtful posts about this very important topic for covered entities (CEs) and business associates (BAs) alike.
