Supplying authoritative insights into real-world HIPAA privacy and security issues, it summarizes the analysis, training, and technology needed to properly plan and implement privacy and security policies, training, and an overall program to manage information risks.

Rezensionen

Praise for the New Edition:

The HIPAA regulations are transforming how providers and insurers think about the individually identifiable health information they create and receive every minute of every day. ... There is a potential for serious harm to service levels and even to patient health if misunderstandings as to the dictates of these regulations choke off the exchange of patient-health information. This guide is a good step toward erasing many of those misunderstandings. I commend the authors for their fine efforts at translating a difficult subject into practical terms.

Praise for the Bestselling First Edition:

The book's main strength is its abundant and varied content. It thoroughly describes the main provisions of HIPAA's security and privacy requirements using actual language from the legislation interspersed with the authors' commentary. This format...helpfully guides readers through the labyrinthine HIPAA requirements.
-Scott Forbes, Microsoft

Rebecca and Kevin have compiled a wealth of knowledge in an easy-to-read, conversational style. This book is packed with useful facts and practical tips that grabs and keeps your attention as though you are listening to the authors in your own living room. The astute reader will keep a pad of paper and a pile of 'sticky notes' handy. You will no doubt come back to this valuable resource over and over again!
Michael J. Corby, CCP, CISSP, President and CEO, M. Corby & Associates, Inc.

This is a very comprehensive view of HIPAA privacy and security compliance which provides a pragmatic, step by step methodology for understanding and complying with the regulation. The practical checklists, the quizzes which
can be used in HIPAA awareness programs, and the pointers to valuable resources are all added benefits.
