HIPAA-HITECH: Where Are We Today And Where Are We Headed Tomorrow?

Getting to HIPAA compliance takes work, but work of a careful, thoughtful type. Instead of using an “all or nothing” shotgun approach, focusing effort in specific ways, making changes that are “evolutionary, not revolutionary”, and really knowing what constitutes HIPAA compliance is the best way to attain it. In some ways, it is similar to any compliance effort, while in other ways it is quite different. This difference can make things easier, not harder. We will also talk about how an organization can stay compliant long term, which is actually harder than simply getting compliant.
