Yes, I always say that Jon is the country’s leading HIPAA expert. We have many clients and customers across the country, and Jon takes very good care of them. In this seminar, he will bring you up to date on recent and anticipated changes to HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules compliance and, as always, will help you with CYA: cover your assets. We don’t want you to be found noncompliant with HIPAA and get that free trip to Leavenworth or that expensive trip to the bank.

If you can’t make it to Jon’s seminar in San Francisco in three weeks but still want HIPAA training from Jon, you could also consider signing up for his webinar on the HIPAA breach notification rule and what you must do to comply, which is scheduled for Thursday, February 6, 2020, at noon CT, available here: https://www.compliancekey.us/webinarDetails?industryId=3&webinarid=1560&speakerid=124.
