Training Options  Duration: 90 Minutes  
Wednesday, January 24, 2018   |   10:00 AM PST | 01:00 PM EST

Overview: This lesson will be going into great detail regarding you practice or business 

information technology and how it relates to the HIPAA/HITECH Security Rule and securing PHI 

in transmission. I will go through multiple examples and specific scenarios and also offer 

simple common-sense solutions.

Areas covered will be texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data, personal 

devices, and risk factors. I will uncover myths versus reality as it relates to this very 

enigmatic law based on over 1000 risk assessments performed as well as years of experience in 

dealing directly with the Office of Civil Rights HIPAA auditors. I will speak on specific 

experiences from over 18 years of experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor, 

expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases in state law, and thoroughly explain how patients are 

now able to get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health information. 

More importantly I will show you how to limit those risks by simply taking proactive steps and 

utilizing best practices. Don't always believe what you read online about HIPAA, especially as 

it relates to encryption and IT, there are a lot of groups selling more than is necessarily 

required. 

Why should you Attend: Confused about all of the misinformation relating to HIPAA, what you 

can and can't do? Let me get those questions FINALLY answered for you once and for all! There 

is unfortunately a lot of confusion about transmissions of protected health information and 

what we as business associates and covered entities need to do and what we SHOULD NOT do! 

It is important to understand the new changes going on at Health and Human Services as it 

relates to enforcement of HIPAA for both covered entities and business associates as it 

relates to portable devices, texting, emailing, and transmission in general of protected 

health information (PHI).

You need to know how to avoid being low hanging fruit in terms of audit risk as well as being 

sued by individuals who have had their PHI wrongfully discloses due to bad IT practices. I 

have also been expert witness on multiple court cases where a business or medical practice is 

being sued for not doing their due diligence to minimize risk. These day's trial attorney's 

pose a higher risk than the Federal government!
