CE HIPAA Training for Dental Teams
2023-11-09 16:00 - 17:00 (America/Denver) | Zoom
November 9
HIPAA compliance is often at the bottom of the practice’s to-do list. However, with increased HIPAA complaints, data breaches, and a rise in enforcement activity, HIPAA should always be a top priority. Join the CDA’s compliance partner, Abyde, to hear real-world examples of audit letters, fines, and OCR stats on HIPAA enforcement and gain insight into current HIPAA enforcement trends and government standards.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Understand the requirements needed to be HIPAA compliant and to pass an audit
Recognize how HIPAA compliance applies to patient interaction on a daily basis
Perform the next steps necessary to achieve HIPAA compliance in the dental practice
