The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) defines the security and privacy regulations required to protect sensitive patient health information. Specifically, the Act addresses requirements for handling protected health information (PHI) and electronic protected health information (ePHI). Cybersecurity and HIPAA are at the forefront of companies' minds.
In parallel, the relentless rise of cyber threats adds an extra layer of complexity to healthcare compliance. Cybersecurity within the healthcare sector is indispensable, as the digitization of medical records and the interconnectedness of healthcare systems create lucrative targets for cybercriminals. The webinar will ensure cybersecurity compliance involves implementing secure systems, access controls, encryption, and regular risk assessments to protect PHI from unauthorized breaches.
Webinar Highlights:
Why Should You Attend:
In July 2023, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services teamed up with The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which has emerged as a significant player in thwarting breaches of consumers' data privacy and security, to issue joint letters to various entities. Cybersecurity involves implementing measures to protect against unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential risks that could compromise the device's functionality or patient safety. This includes establishing protocols within the device's design, software, and network connectivity to prevent cyber threats.
Attending this webinar, attendees will provide a timely update on the recent regulations, standards, and trends related to cybersecurity and HIPAA and how companies can mitigate risk and consumers can protect themselves.
