• Have you identified the e-PHI within your practice? This includes e-PHI that you create, receive, maintain or transmit
• What are the external sources of e-PHI? For example, do vendors or consultants create, receive, maintain or transmit e-PHI?
• What are the human, natural and environmental threats to information systems that contain e-PHI?
• Do you want to attest to EHR incentive program by completing your security risk analysis?

The primary objective of this 60-minute webinar is to help the organization identify the key vulnerabilities in ePHI and EHR systems by reviewing the steps required to complete the security risk analysis and successfully attest to the Meaningful Use (MU) incentive program. In addition, one of the Meaningful Use's core objectives for eligible professionals and hospitals is to conduct a thorough technical risk analysis of EHR and ePHI systems.

Course Objective:

Many health care organizations and their business associates understand they are not meeting the HIPAA compliance requirements for risk analysis and they are concerned this could result in stiff fines and penalties. Do I have to hire an outside security consultant to perform a risk analysis? How can I make sure they focus on the core requirements to protect ePHI and a possible OCR audit, without breaking our budget or requiring an inordinate amount of time? Are there resources available that our team can use that do not require someone with a security background?

We will guide you through the requirements for a HIPAA risk analysis as specified by the OCR, with a clear explanation of each:

• Provide you with a clear method to complete a risk analysis
• Show you practical tools and resources that are freely available to be used by security professionals and HIPAA compliance professionals to complete the risk analysis – even those without a security background
• Identify the top security threats and vulnerabilities to ePHI and what you will need to do to protect your organization in a way that is practical and cost effective
