Lesson Content:

HIPAA isn’t a “one-and-done” rule — you must show ongoing compliance.

What You Need:

• Documented privacy and security policies

• A designated privacy/security officer

• Annual staff training (minimum)

• Business Associate Agreements with all vendors handling PHI

• Audit logs to track access and changes to records

Tip: If it’s not documented, it didn’t happen (in the eyes of regulators).
