How to Conduct a HIPAA Risk Assessment

Sale!

Understanding the proper methodologies on conducting a HIPAA Risk Assessment based on the requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule is critical for any organization. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services requires all organizations handling protected health information (PHI), including HIPAA hosting providers, to conduct a risk assessment as the first step toward implementing safeguards specified in the HIPAA Security Rule, and ultimately achieving HIPAA compliance.

The Security Rule requires entities to evaluate risks and vulnerabilities in their environments and to implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect against reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of e-PHI. The risk assessment is the first step in that process.

This webinar will cover concepts involved in a security risk analysis and overall risk management. Sample assessment questions will be reviewed and guidance provided on how to make risk level determinations based on responses. Documenting the results of the risk assessment will covered.
