2025 Risk Management Programs
STAYING CURRENT WITH HIPAA REGULATIONS
Chris Wisnom, CDA, RN, BSN
HIPAA compliance is both a legal and ethical necessity for healthcare professionals. Federal law requires HIPAA training, and the ADA's Code of Ethics emphasizes safeguarding patient privacy. Recent ADA News reports indicate increased OIC audits on small practices, with very tight deadlines for compliance documentation like risk assessments and policies. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines. This program addresses these issues, updates you on Privacy and Security regulations, and provides sample HIPAA documents for compliance.
