Introduction:
Changes in the HIPAA Privacy and Security rules are significant and will have a major impact on health care providers as well as “noncovered entities.” New enforcement provisions indicate that an approach to compliance that uses a strategy of “quick fixes” through technology will not suffice to address the new regulatory requirements.
Organizations must become proactive in their compliance efforts. Voluntary compliance is no longer the state of the regularity environment.
Directions:
In a 5-page paper, using appropriate APA style:
• Identify and explain the consequences of noncompliance with HIPAA regulations.
o The focus of the essay should be on
1. PROVIDING EXAMPLES and
2. A SUMMARY OF THE CHANGES INVOLVING ENFORCEMENT
• Also, include at least 1 paragraph on how this course has allowed you to reflect on the Hallmark of Conversation: the way of formation and transformation of self. o It is the process of inwardly directed conversation so as to grow in intellect, skill, and in likeness to the image of God.
