Privacy and Security in 2014, HIPAA and Beyond - Webinar By MentorHealth

Overview: HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach are the basis for healthcare rules that protect patient and provider information. This presentation examines the increased areas of enforcement and the findings from the regulatory audits that were conducted in 2012 to identify threats and liabilities all healthcare providers, insurance companies and business associates face.
