This manual and CD-ROM set is an easy-to-follow, practical resource to walk you through the HIPAA security rule.

If your physician practice is a HIPAA covered entity (or "subject to HIPAA rules") you must comply with the HIPAA security rule. To do this, you'll need to:

  • Perform a risk analysis (required by the rule)
  • Develop security-related workforce training and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • Create follow-up plans to address any security breaches, including sanctions and regular workforce training

Even if you have your HIPAA security compliance plan already in place, this guide will offer you the opportunity to review what you have done and refine it. The authors understand that your practice has limited resources to put toward HIPAA security rule compliance. HIPAA Security Made Simple for Physician Practices clearly explains what you should have already accomplished to comply with the HIPAA privacy rule. This book and companion CD-ROM give you the inside scoop on how the HIPAA security rule specifically affects physician practices.

Your compliance efforts need to be customized based on your risk, and you are unlikely to have the same level of risk and complexity as hospitals and other large organizations. Even if you're not an IT expert you'll feel as competent as any IT expert with the compliance tips and techniques in HIPAA Security Made Simple for Physician Practices. The unique benefits found in this book and CD-ROM resource include:

  • Excerpts from the rule that are explained in plain English and supported by the author's practical tips for compliance
  • Realistic examples of security-related problems and solutions for physician practices
  • Technological and non-technological compliance advice
  • Key "quick tips" and figures to illustrate important information
  • Definitions of common technology and security-related terms

These tools will help you to:

  • Gain a real understanding of the security rule and the fundamentals of information security
  • Plan and start your HIPAA security compliance implementation
  • Learn practical ways to comply with each requirement of the rule
  • Monitor your HIPAA security compliance program to ensure continued success

Use the tips, techniques, and tools in HIPAA Security Made Simple for Physician Practices to expertly guide your compliance. The author, Kate Borten, CISSP, CISM, president and founder of The Marblehead Group, Inc., brings to clients a unique combination of expertise in information security, privacy, and information technology from more than 20 years inside the healthcare industry. She led the first corporatewide information security program at Massachusetts General Hospital, and she is the former chief information security officer at CareGroup, a major healthcare system based in Boston. Borten is a nationally recognized expert on HIPAA and health information privacy and security, and a frequent speaker on the topic. She is also the author of Guide to HIPAA Security Analysis.

This manual and CD-ROM set is an easy-to-follow, practical resource to walk you through the HIPAA security rule.
