Your practice has a lot riding on the annual HIPAA training you provide to your team.
Simply providing the same basic HIPAA run-through each year isn’t enough anymore. Although it may technically fulfill federal HIPAA training requirements, it can also expose your practice to the expensive consequences of a violation, even an innocent one.
There is an easier way.
With the click of your mouse, you get access to the Healthcare Practice HIPAA Masterclass for your entire team, whenever you need it. During this actionable, plain-English HIPAA training Masterclass, your staff will learn how to:
- Safeguard front desk patient conversations to prevent patient HIPAA complaints
- Correctly report suspected HIPAA violations to limit potential harm
- Avoid Right of Access violations with easy-to-follow office policies
- Head off innocent mistakes when responding to patient online reviews
- Help your staff quickly recognize phishing threats before they get your data
- Protect against the most common electronic PHI security mistakes
Small Mistakes Can Have Expensive Consequences
IMPORTANT: HIPAA enforcement isn’t limited to large health systems. Consider these recent real-world actions against independent practices/clinics:
- $350,000: A radiology practice was penalized when unauthorized individuals gained access to a server containing radiology images.
- $750,000: An orthopedic clinic was fined for turning over patient protected health information to a potential business partner without first executing a business associate agreement (BAA).]
- $70,000: A small specialty practice was fined because a front-desk employee delayed a patient’s access to their records over unpaid bills.
Protect Your Practice — and Your Peace of Mind
When one of your staff makes a HIPAA mistake, it doesn’t have to be intentional to put your practice at risk. That’s what makes your HIPAA training so critical.
Don’t just trust anyone to provide your team with the HIPAA staff training your practice is required to provide.
