We’ll be talking about two different, but related topics that are front and center with every healthcare organization today: HIPAA compliance and cybersecurity.
In 2005 the Office for Civil Rights, the organization responsible for HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule enforcement, coined the phrase, “Create a culture of compliance” to express the importance of adopting sound privacy and security practices to protect patient health information.
It did not really mean just focus on compliance for compliance sake, but unfortunately many organizations have set its targets on compliance as opposed to adopting a security framework and controls capable of meeting today’s data protection needs.
