Comprehensive Compliance Risk Assessment Guide for Health Care Providers - Part 1

Course Description:

Part I of this two-part webinar will introduce a comprehensive compliance risk assessment guide that is designed to reduce a health care provider’s exposure to potential risks. Attendees should be aware that this is not a legal tool, nor should it be interpreted as legal advice. It is a guide designed to help its users to identify their risks in the health care space so that they can develop their own comprehensive risk assessment program to address identified compliance risks and help prevent issues from arising. In total, there are 12 main risk areas that will be discussed over the course of two (2) webinars.

Risk areas covered today will include:

Medical records release
Medical records documentation
HIPAA and privacy risks/concerns
General risk
HIPAA and security
Medical Malpractice prevention

For example, does your practice have a subpoena response policy? When documenting medical records, do you use macros? Are you regularly auditing your PHI? Attendees should come out of this webinar with an idea of which risk areas may be leaving them vulnerable.
