Online Training 2016 - HIPAA Rules for New Patient Attraction - Websites, Testimonials, Social Media - By Compliance Global Inc

Overview
New Patients are vital for growing and sustaining a Health Care Provider's Practice. Patient attraction has become an enormous business resulting in highly visible Internet-based HIPAA training violations and risks for providers.
Websites, social media, patient satisfaction surveys, email and text messaging sold by vendors including Business Associates are all subject to HIPAA rules that are frequently overlooked or ignored.
Why Should You Attend
HIPAA compliance for the most common patient attraction tools are clear and unequivocal. One look at health care plans on provider's website can provide undeniable evidence of a HIPAA violation and indications of other violations to be investigated.
The lack of Patient Privacy when misusing patient attraction tools can cause to suspect the provider to reveal a breach wide open on the Internet for all to see. This includes the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and State Attorney General enforcement agents. A covered entity’s breach for all to see!
Misuse of social media, websites, or marketing can lead to HIPAA violations, lawsuits, and loss of patients and revenue. With HHS training audits taking place and current violations with a minimum of $10,000 fines, it is the time for covered entities to become compliant while still keeping patient engagement through the ever growing electronic world.
