HIPAA Security Rule Workshops for Clinics

Jan. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- ITPAC Consulting of Lincoln is pleased to announce a series of HIPAA compliance workshops in February and March for clinics in the healthcare fields.  These are for organizations such as dentists, chiropractors, physicians and dermatologist who, along with other small doctor offices, are looking to strengthen its security practices.  These workshops are designed to provide an educational, cost-effective and interactive environment for understanding the HIPAA Security Rule, HITECH Act and their related compliance and reporting requirements.  

Denise Mainquist is the founder and managing director of ITPAC Consulting, LLC. Denise has nearly a decade of proven experience assessing and implementing Information Technology related projects, quality management systems, standards and controls.

“The security workshops are aimed at small and community-based healthcare clinics and helping them remain compliant in this ever changing world,” states Mrs. Mainquist. “By attending a workshop a business can potentially complete 90 percent of a new security and compliance plan, ready to be implemented when they get back to the office. Also these workshops are held with four to six other clinics at a time which helps to keep the overall costs down and opens up the opportunity to share ideas and experiences with one another.”

ITPAC Consulting provides solutions addressing the needs of Information Technology and Audit executives by providing consulting assistance with project implementation, information security, controls and compliance. ITPAC follows a simple process: listen, understand, identify solutions and provide knowledge and experience. Attendees of this workshop will leave with an improved understanding of security requirements, as well as a risk assessment, vendor management tool, draft policies and implementation guidance.

The workshops will be offered in Lincoln on February 1 and March 21 and in Omaha on February 29. To register or to gain more information on these workshops, please call (402) 420-1556 or visit www.ITPAC.biz.
