HIPAA Compliance: What to expect from an OCR audit (Part 2)?

This show will continue to explore what you should expect from an OCR audit.

There are systematic ways to attack each of the Rules identified above and we will review those with our audience. We will also review strategies that can help you avoid a finding of "willful neglect."
