The No. 1 Thing to Know about Complying with HIPAA

The No. 1 thing you don't know about complying with HIPAA just might make your professional life a little easier! This web conference will transform the way you think about HIPAA compliance.

The HIPAA Security Rule is poorly understood in popular discourse among mental health clinicians. Rather than a game of whack-a-mole where you attempt to find the right "HIPAA compliant" product or service, only to be told later that it isn't "HIPAA compliant," compliance with HIPAA around digital technology is a process that is both flexible and requires a modicum of attention.

Come learn about the three processes that make up compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule:

1. Risk Analysis
2. Risk Management Planning
3. Policies and Procedures

Learn how these processes can be different for mental health clinicians and for practices of different sizes. Understand how they help you and your clients do better and safer work, while simultaneously covering your potential legal liability.

Mental health clinicians have long held security as an important part of our work—we simply call it "confidentiality." Come learn how to apply your already-existing ethical values and practical skills to your HIPAA compliance, as well.

This web conference is an educational session based on guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as well as the professional experience and training of the presenters, and should not be viewed as a replacement for legal advice or professional consultation.

This intermediate, instructional level web conference is designed to help clinicians:

1. Develop a plan to approach the three main steps for HIPAA Security Rule compliance.
2. Use the risk-based approach to security for protecting sensitive client information.
3. Examine how to maintain security and meet individual needs while complying with HIPAA.
4. Leverage existing professional skills around clinical risk management to learn and improve security risk management skills.
