Protecting Your Company from HIPAA Violations – Biz Coach

SEATTLE - Feb. 1, 2022 - PRLog -- To keep your organization's data and reputation safe and secure, you must understand HIPAA and effectively maintain patients' protected health information, warns Biz Coach Terry Corbell.

"If you're committing a HIPAA violation, you set your organization up for a costly expense and a negative news headline – not to mention the damage to patients," advises the Biz Coach.

"Of course, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law," he explains. The law requires organizations protect sensitive patient health information, and not disclose it without a person's consent or knowledge.

Included in his new service, Mr. Corbell explains the main rules of HIPAA:

● Privacy Rule: Organizations can't share a patient's personal health information without their knowledge or permission.
● Security Rule: Organizations must have physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect health information.
● Breach Notification Rule: Organizations must notify affected individuals within 60 days of a data breach.
● Omnibus Rule: Individuals have greater rights over access to their protected health information.
