Healthcare 2021 - OCR Compliance Plus - Step-by-Step HIPAA Risk Analysis & Risk Management

Overview:
Risk Analysis and Risk Management (RA-RM) are OCR's top enforcement priority and the basis for every HIPAA Compliance program.
However, the biggest and most important nationwide HIPAA violation is failure to perform RA-RM in compliance with OCR requirements. OCR published shocking results of its Phase 2 HIPAA Compliance Audit on December 17, 2020 revealing that:
86% of covered entities and 83% of business associates failed the Risk Analysis Audit
94% of covered entities and 88% of business associates failed the Risk Management Audit
They failed despite the fact that they had been provided with all the audit questions and a list of the documents they would be required to provide well in advance and knew they were short-listed to be audited! The HIPAA Rules do not explain the procedures required to perform RA-RM. However, OCR issued guidance explaining the required steps with specific reference to procedures created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and published in manuals that are free to download. The problem many encounter is that NIST manuals, created by its Computer Security Division, are lengthy and technical. This webinar explains, step-by-step, the exact RA-RM procedures OCR requires using NIST methodology and NIST defined terms such as Risk, Threat, Vulnerability, Impact and Likelihood. The steps are easy to follow when you know the steps.
But there is more - that is why the webinar is titled OCR Compliance Plus.
