HIPAA Has Teeth and Will Bite Over Privacy Blunders! | Kim Stanger, Partner, Hawley Troxell, Attorneys & Couselors, General Counsel for IHCA-ICAL
Under new rules, the Office of Civil Rights (“OCR”) must impose penalties of $10,000 to $50,000 for HIPAA violations resulting from willful neglect. The OCR has already imposed fines in excess of $1,000,000 against violators. To make matters worse, health care providers have an affirmative obligation to report privacy breaches to affected residents and HHS. This program will provide a checklist of items managers need to do to facilitate HIPAA compliance and avoid HIPAA fines.

In addition to the live webinar, Mr. Stanger has also developed a recorded staff training that is available for purchase. Upon completion of your regsitration for this training, IHCA-ICAL will send a copy of the training to your facility.
