SECURITY IN PRACTICE

Cyber attacks are a real threat to a private practice; we read about data breaches on a daily basis. Data breaches can prove very costly for a private practice both financially and the Doctor’s reputation. Information systems are the largest investment that a private practice will make, yet it is the least protected. In today’s environment protecting information systems and its data is critical.

Practices should stop looking at HIPAA as a regulation and start looking at HIPAA as a guide to create and develop a security management plan to protect their information system


Course Objectives

  • Discover how to use HIPAA as a guide to protect data.
