0How The HITECH Act Raises the Ante on HIPAA Security Rule Compliance
https://www.ispeech.org/text.to.speech
HITECH changes HIPAA Security in a huge way! Covered Entities (CEs) and Business Associates (BAs) must get serious – the deadline for full compliance has passed.
The HITECH Act requires the Secretary of HHS to post a list of breaches of unsecured PHI affecting 500 or more individuals. The initial posting was made during week of February 22, 2010 and included an initial 36 cases. Since then, the list has grown.
This webinar is designed to help CEs and BAs take action today to, first and foremost, comply with the HIPAA-HITECH data protection requirements and, secondarily, avoid the embarrassment of appearing on the HHS "Wall of Shame".
