2020 Webinar: How to Write & Adopt HIPAA Policies & Proced.

Each additional phone line will be billed at the LHA Member/Non-Member rate. Advance registration and payment is REQUIRED to ensure delivery of instructional materials.

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE: Compliance officers, privacy and security officers, health information management leadership and staff, information security, and patient relations, as well as staff who are involved in patient and staff communications, information management, and privacy and security of protected health information under HIPAA.

OVERVIEW: This session will explore the requirements for various policies under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and present a way of organizing policies to facilitate their use and maintenance. The speaker will describe typical policy content processes for policy adoption, will explain regular review and identify sources for sample policy content and guidance. Additionally, the presenter will provide an outline for HIPAA policy organization, including a framework of categories of policy types and the typical policy elements that would occur in each category. The policies will be organized into six categories, including: 1) the Information Privacy and Security Management Process policy; 2) the Information System User policy; 3) the Access Control policy; 4) the Information Security Incident Management policy; 5) the policy on uses and disclosures of protected health information (PHI); and 6) the policy on individual rights and HIPAA.

OBJECTIVES:

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss the topics that should be represented in a set of HIPAA policies;
  • Organize policies into logical groupings to simplify finding and using them;
  • Differentiate between policies and procedures, what belongs in each, and how often they should be reviewed and updated;
  • Describe the essential elements of policies, and how to adopt them; and
  • Plan for reviews of HIPAA policies on a regular basis.
