Risk Management Tip of the Month:

“The Office of Civil Rights (OCR) has increased HIPAA enforcement efforts resulting in very large fines against some healthcare facilities.  Given this, if you are a covered entity, it might be a good time to review your plan for ensuring compliance with the Privacy and Security Rules.”
