What's Happening with HIPAA
Presented by Gerard W. Clum, DC
This is a
situation that requires your attention and your understanding to navigate
through to compliance. Spending a lot of money on this situation may not help
you significantly more than spending some time getting familiar with the issues
at hand
The College
has been preparing to implement the various components of HIPAA for almost a
year. We have studied the legislation and the associated rulemaking and we can
help you.
| Attend a seminar
The intent of the
seminar is to provide you with the background on where the legislation
came from, its objectives, its logic (or lack thereof) and to assist you
with developing a compliance plan for your office that is effective and as
minimally disruptive as possible. That end requires you to understand the
law and for you to decide how you are going to structure your compliance
efforts |
