The HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has begun the next phase of audits.  The OCR will look for fully developed programs that go beyond the minimum requirements for record management and compliance.  Many Healthcare facilities are attacked through onsite systems that are not updated with proper security software.  By understanding the requirements, organizations can design and implement a plan that prepares them for this round of audits.

During the workshop our speakers/panelists will discuss:

  • Educating – How to prepare your team to recognize threats and how to report and respond appropriately
  • Identification and mitigation
  • Protecting mobile devices
  • Best Practices to provide the level of privacy and security needed.
