HIPAA Breaches – How to Reduce Human Error

More than 175,000,000 individuals have been affected by HIPAA data breaches. During the last year, 78% of HIPAA breaches are caused by human error. That means almost all of those breaches may have been prevented. Does your organization have the required safeguards in place? Have you trained your workforce? Do you have HIPAA policies and procedures in place?

The goal is to help organizations try and avoid HIPAA data breaches. If the subject of an OCR enforcement investigation you will be required to show the government you have all the necessary documentation in place for safeguarding patient Protected Health Information and indicate how you addressed all required security safeguards.
