Overview:

Hands-On HIPAA (“HOH”) is designed to give attendees everything that they need to become HIPAA compliant in an intense two-day workshop. The help from the workshop’s staff of HIPAA experts starts before the seminar, however. Attendees will receive a gap analysis/audit toolkit to fill out. A gap analysis is for those who have not substantially achieved HIPAA compliance, and the audit toolkit is for those who believe that they have achieved compliance but want to be sure. In either event, they will fill out a questionnaire and receive a written report from the HOH faculty highlighting anything that they need to do to fill any gaps identified and to achieve compliance. Any questions that they may have concerning the report will be handled individually in the Thursday morning session by faculty members.

The next area is risk analysis—the absolute key to HIPAA compliance—an initial risk analysis for those who have not yet done one or an update for those who have previously done one or more. Faculty members will assist in determining risks and choosing reasonable, appropriate, and cost-effective security measures to protect against those risks. Based on the report that you will receive on your gap analysis or audit toolkit, please draft your risk analysis or update well before the workshop so that we can help you complete it during the workshop.

On the second day, faculty members will help attendees draft policies and procedures using the templates provided on a CD. Instruction on handling security incidents, breaches, and complaints will follow, with a practical exercise on how to handle a breach.

After an update on Privacy Rule compliance and required training, a faculty panel will answer attendees’ questions.

Comments from Past Attendees

• Phines Sanders: This seminar was effective for me, I believe the information learned is very valuable for our agency.
• Diane Luther: Over the past 10 years I’ve attended 5-6 single day HIPAA workshops. While they were helpful, I always left the training afraid. I may be missing something important and sometimes rather overwhelmed. The two-day, hands on format was so helpful and I’m feeling much more confident in our compliance. Thank you.
• Jaque Schmidt: Great opportunity! Thanks so much for letting me know about it. I hope you will do these annually.
• Amy Morrison: This hands on training is great! You provided more than a list of what to do but actually provided how to do them.
• Susan L. Adkins: I have more helpful & practical information from this seminar than any seminar re: HIPAA that I have attended and I’m not walking away scared to death.
• Danelle Sommerfeld: I so appreciate of all the information we received. It will be so helpful.
