Overview: Being in compliance with HIPAA involves not only ensuring you provide the appropriate patient rights and controls on your uses and disclosures of protected health information, but you also have the proper policies and procedures in place. If audited or the subject of a compliance review you will be required to show the government you have all the necessary documentation in place for safeguarding patient Protected Health Information and indicate how you addressed all required security safeguards. This starts with the fundamentals of a HIPAA compliance program. If your healthcare practice, business, or organization needs to understand how to put HIPAA compliance program in place or make sure the current program is adequate and can withstand government scrutiny, please join us for this informative and interactive course. Why should you Attend: With an increase in HIPAA enforcement and Phase 2 audits underway, many organizations need to fully understand the requirements of a compliance program. Attendees will leave the course clearly understanding of all the requirements for a comprehensive HIPAA compliance program and what steps need to taken to mitigate risk. After completing this course, a Covered Entity or Business Associate will have a clear roadmap for what needs to be place when it comes to all of the HIPAA regulations. Areas Covered in the Session: Why was HIPAA created? Who Must Comply with HIPAA Requirements? What are the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules? What is a HIPAA Compliance Program? What is a HIPAA Risk Management Plan? What is meant by "Required" and "Addressable" Implementation Specifications? What are Administrative, Technical, and Physical Safeguards Requirements? What is a HIPAA Risk Assessment? What are HIPAA training requirements? What is a HIPAA data breach and what happens if it occurs? What are the penalties and fines for non-compliance and how to avoid them? Creating a Culture of Compliance Questions Who Will Benefit: Com

Overview: This webinar will cover everything that you need to know about how to handle HIPAA security incidents, breaches, and complaints and the Department of Health and Human Resources Investigations thereof. Not all security incidents are breaches, but all breaches of confidentiality are within the broad ambit of security incidents. Privacy rule violations, such as failing to give a patient a copy of his or her medical records, may also constitute a breach as the $4.2 million fine assessed against Cignet Healthcare of Prince George's County, Maryland, dramatically proved. Handling an investigation properly is key to determining not only how to handle it to mitigate any harm and to take action to prevent it from happening again but also to determine whether it is reportable to affected individuals and to DHHS. HIPAA requires a complaint procedure (policy). The webinar will suggest what such a document should contain as it also will for the required report procedure (what is reportable, who reports, to whom, and required/suggested contents of the report) and the required response procedure (what do the responsible officials do after receiving the report or the complaint). Investigating a possible security incident is key. The webinar will cover how to conduct a thorough investigation of HIPAA security incidents, breaches, and patient complaints. Finally, the second largest HIPAA civil money penalty or settlement, $4.2 million, was in large part due to the offender's failure to cooperate with the DHHS investigation. The presenter has successfully defended his clients in seven such investigations and knows how to respond to them to avoid or minimize liability. Think of a gap analysis as an examination of: What you currently have in place for HIPAA compliance. Is that adequate? Can it be done better? Is it enough? And what am I missing? Asking these questions will help establish the direction and next steps to take. It lays the ground work for a good Risk Analys

Overview: Remember spaghetti code? The HIPAA breach area is now almost as convoluted and overlapping and confusing as spaghetti code. Sometimes you think you are both coming and going at the same time when you think through an event to determine if your organization has had a breach. For example: Is a security incident always a beach? Is an ePHI breach a security incident as well? Is a cybersecurity event always a breach? What if it does not steal any clinical information, diagnoses or procedures information, or any payment information? A security incident? Or both? Are all the necessary kinds of notice in the Breach rule? What is Cybersecurity Insurance? Is it really the finger in the dike or itself full of Swiss cheese? Can the loss of patient or member data be a HIPAA breach and identity theft plus a fraud issue? Why should you Attend: HIPAA breaches now number in the multiple thousands, if not multiple millions. Your organization needs to be prepared for the initial sense of panic, a complete investigation, and the federal, state and reputational costs of a mega breach. A breach now costs in money approximately $225/record. And this does not include any fine of any type. The loss and theft of 1000 records may cost you organization from a quarter to $1 M, or more, and 6 months to a year to resolve. You need to know the basics of what PHI and ePHI really are; what puts the event into the breach safe harbor, what breach exceptions keeps the event out of OCR's hands, what the 4 factors are and how they are used. You need to know that your organization's breach plan and your policies and procedures include the need to notify when necessary the police, the FBI and other state and federal organizations beyond the Office for Civil Rights. Your organization needs to know how to protect itself after the fact by considering Cybersecurity Insurance.

Course "Key Factors to Write an Effective Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and Work Instructions (WIs)" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion. Overview: Writing SOPs or procedural documents can be challenging at times. However, writing SOPs is overall a straightforward process. However, enforcing what you already created and implemented in the pipeline is another story. The term SOP is very obvious. We have seen "clearly written description of how specific tasks are to be done." Another satisfactory definition would be "detailed written instructions that achieve the uniformity of the performance of a specific function." Is the firm doing what the regulations specify? Is the firm doing what their procedures specify? If you are medical device or a pharmaceutical manufacturer, these definitions come as no surprise because when it comes to FDA regulations and guidance documents "establish" means to define, to document (in writing or electronically) and to implement. The goal and emphasis with FDA is simple. Proof of "Establish" is the foundation. Is the firm doing what the regulations specify? Is the firm doing what their procedures specify? Are the procedures being followed and enforced by company personnel? SOPs are needed in regulated industries to give step-by-step instructions for performing a particular job or task. This session will provide a step-by-step overview and a snapshot of the procedure description, the process and format. The subject matter of a SOP may range from how to operate a piece of machinery to how to log into a particular software program. SOPs ensure consistency and reliability because they require training of all affected parties. This session will address recent enforcement actions for SOP related violations but no surprise. Most of our enforcement actions are documentation related, i.e., SOP or other procedural documents. We will review examples from

Overview: The objectives of this course will be to go over the specific risks associated with business associates as it relates to HIPAA compliance. I will uncover myths versus reality as it relates to this very enigmatic law based on over 600 risk assessments performed as well as years of experience in dealing directly with the Office of Civil Rights HIPAA auditors. Times have changed and unfortunately many businesses are losing clients or unable to get new clients due to problems with their compliance program or lack of a compliance program. I will demonstrate from real life audits conducted by the Federal government what your highest risks are for being fined (some of the risk factors may surprise you). In addition this course will cover the highest risk factors for being sued for wrongful disclosures of PHI and the manner in which patients are now using state laws to sue for wrongful disclosures. States are being encouraged by the Federal government to implement new laws to remedy their citizens. Why should you Attend: Protect your business! Business associates are now required to comply directly with the HIPAA legislation! Many businesses are losing clients or unable to get clients because of compliance issues. We will be discussing the changes taking place in Washington DC with the Health and Human Services in relating to new risks business associates face under HIPAA. I will also be discussing factors might cause an unwanted visit or letter from the Office of Civil Rights and how to prepare for the audit and deal with the Feds Areas Covered in the Session: Updates for 2016 What to do if a client requires more than just a signed business associate agreement Fines Policy and Procedure Who Will Benefit: Any business associates who work with medical practices or hospitals (i.e. billing companies, transcription companies, IT companies, answering services, home health, coders, attorneys, etc) Speaker Profile Brian Tuttle is a Certified Professional in H

Standard Operating Procedures for Clinical Trials: A set of standard operating procedures for clinical trials is absolutely vital for ensuring the effectiveness of the study for a number of reasons. Standard operating procedures for clinical trials are a very potent means to help researchers, principals or sponsors ensure the accuracy and consistency of the procedures needed for the clinical trial. What are standard operating procedures for clinical trials? Standard operating procedures for clinical trials are written instructions that are detailed to provide information about every aspect of the trial. With this set of standard operating procedures for clinical trials, principals seek to bring about a level of uniformity in a particular task of the clinical trial. Consistency in these standard operating procedures for clinical trials has to be ensured so that the clinical trial meets local, state and federal government and global guidelines and requirements. Equally importantly, standard operating procedures for clinical trials have to also meet regulatory guidelines set out by bodies such as the FDA. The purpose of standard operating procedures for clinical trials should be to help the trial achieve consistency in the quality control and quality assurance. In addition, standard operating procedures for clinical trials should be designed to help the trial achieve the quality of auditability. This is because any clinical trial goes through audits from regulatory bodies, making the role of standard operating procedures for clinical trials all the more important. Factors to bear in mind while establishing standard operating procedures for clinical trials: Standard operating procedures for clinical trials should thoroughly document these among other elements: Event Reporting Safety Monitoring Laboratory Management Pharmacy Management Development of Protocols Informed Consent Operations at the site of the clinical trial While these may be considered the core asp
