Complying with the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule: A Guide for the Dental Office (EPUB)

By American Dental Association
Complying with the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule will publish in late Spring 2023. HIPAA requires a covered dental practice to have written policies and procedures on breach notification and to adhere to them before, during and after a breach. Failure to do so can result in penalties. Your practice’s HIPAA policies and procedures can help you prevent and prepare for a data breach. This user-friendly book will guide you through the steps of creating a compliant breach notification program, emphasizing how to prevent breaches and how to react if a breach is suspected. Even a dental practice that is fully HIPAA compliant can have a data breach, but preparation can help manage stress, expenses and even help prevent missteps if a data breach does occur. This resource will help you know what to do when a data breach happens so your time away from patient care can be kept to a minimum. It walks you through the requirements of the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule, explains what a breach is and how to send a breach notification and includes tips and sample forms that can help smooth the way to compliance. The time you spend developing and implementing your HIPAA compliance program is time well spent. This book includes how to • Secure protected health information (PHI) • Send a breach notification • Notify affected individuals • Notify the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) • Delete social media posts • Encrypt a computer It also addresses • Written policies and procedures • Training • Document retention • Ransomware • Sample forms • Enforcement examples
