On Sept. 23, 2016, the OCR announced its second HIPAA enforcement action against a business associate to the tune of $400,000. The hospital had previously entered into a settlement of $150,000 for its part in the breach.
More and more, HIPAA breaches are caused by the Business Associates of HIPAA covered entities. Learn how to manage these risks in Oct. 12 webcast.
The OCR has begun an initiative to more widely investigate the root causes of smaller breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals.
This week selected covered entities began receiving notification letters for Phase Two of OCR’s HIPAA audit program which involve desk audits.
PrivaPlan President David Ginsberg leads June 28 webinar hosted by CORHIO about new HIPAA audits of covered entities and their business associates.
