Let me get those questions FINALLY answered for you once and for all!

There  is, unfortunately, a lot of confusion about transmissions of protected  health information and what we as business associates and covered  entities need to do and what we SHOULD NOT do!
Join me in this  90-minute webinar as we discuss the do's and don'ts regarding texting  and emailing along with any other sorts of transmissions of protected  health information!

It is important to understand the new changes  going on at Health and Human Services as it relates to enforcement of  HIPAA for both covered entities and business associates as it relates to  portable devices, texting, emailing, and transmission in general of  protected health information (PHI).

You need to know how to avoid  being low hanging fruit in terms of audit risk as well as being sued by  individuals who have had their PHI wrongfully discloses due to bad IT  practices.
I have also been an expert witness on multiple court  cases where a business or medical practice is being sued for not doing  their due diligence to minimize risk.
These day's trial attorney poses a higher risk than the Federal government!
