Jim Sheldon-Dean 2012 - The New HIPAA Random Audit Program: How to be prepared and avoid penalties
Topics/Call fo Papers
Description of the topic:
? In this session we will discuss the HIPAA audit and enforcement regulations and processes, and how they apply to HIPAA covered entities and business associates, and the new random HIPAA compliance audit program in particular. We will explain the enforcement regulations and the recent changes that increase fines and create new penalty levels, including new penalties for willful neglect of compliance that begin at $10,000. We will discuss what information and documentation must be prepared in advance so that you can be ready for an audit any time. Sample information request forms and questions asked at prior audits will be presented.
? The session will also cover how to know if you may become the subject of an audit or enforcement action, and what you can do to help limit your exposure. We will discuss how most enforcement actions come about and what can be done to prevent incidents that lead to enforcement.
? The HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification regulations (and the recent changes to them) and how they will be audited will be explained. Documentation requirements for compliance will be explored and a framework of security policies necessary for compliance will be presented. Meeting any set of information security requirements always involves conducting a thorough risk analysis to make sure you haven't overlooked any weaknesses. We'll discuss what's involved and how it is the cornerstone of your compliance efforts.
? The results of prior HHS audits (and their penalties) will be discussed, including recent actions involving multi-million dollar fines and settlments. A plan for attaining compliance will be presented. The steps to follow to prepare for an audit and respond to an audit request will be outlined. In addition, upcoming trends in information security risks will be discussed.

? Compliance director
? CEO
? CFO
? Privacy Officer
