This module is devoted to a topic that has been in the news since 2019 and will continue to be for years to follow as the focus of the HHS is on interoperability, coordination of care and patient access to their entire health record.  You will learn about the patient’s rights and how they impact your practice. We will discuss the core document of the patient’s rights, the Notice of Privacy Practices. You will hear practical suggestions for implementing a compliant medical record process as well as areas to be cautious of.

his module will help your clinic review and evaluate your current compliance status. Is your HIPAA program alive, or is it simply a book on the shelf? Could the clinic pass a HIPAA audit conducted by a compliance specialist? How about one performed by the Office of Civil Rights? The training in this module outlines areas that a clinic should give consideration to when evaluating compliance status. It also includes a helpful Q & A resource on risk assessment management.
