Overview: I will address specific litigated cases I have worked where the covered entity

had to pay out nasty fines to the Federal government and high settlements to patients affected

by inappropriate usage of the EMR system - I will also address situations where the covered

entity DID NOT receive any fines or judgements (even in the event of a breach or malicious

actions) due to the fact they were using the systems in a "compliant manner" I will also be

addressing how practice managers (or compliance offers) need to understand how to properly

utilize the EMR system for HIPAA compliance.

I will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule and any other applicable updates for

2017 and beyond. There are an enormous amount of issues and risks for covered entities and

business associates these days. I will speak on specific experiences from over 17 years of

experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor, expert witness on multiple HIPAA

cases, and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful

disclosures of private health information. More importantly I will show you how to limit those

risks by simply taking proactive steps and utilizing best practices.

Why should you Attend:

EMR systems may be "HIPAA Compliant" out of the box but if not utilized properly they are NOT

compliant

Are you using your EMR system the way it should be utilized for HIPAA Compliance?

Are you aware there are serious legal consequences for improper usage of EMR systems?

An analogy would be, General Motors makes a car with a 5-star safety rating but if you don't

fasten the seatbelt, the car isn't very safe anymore

Omnibus has changed the HIPAA landscape for good

This once rarely enforced law has changed and you need to know what's going on

Protect your practice or business

These day's trial attorney's pose a higher risk than the Federal government

State laws are now in place increasing liability for patient remedies

What factors might spurn a lawsuit or a HIPAA audit? are you doing these things?

EMR system usage plays a HUGE role in HIPAA enforcement as well as court litigation against the

practice
