February 12th Meeting ~ HIPAA Part 2: Audit Preparation

Our February Technology Wizards meeting will be this Wednesday, February 12th, 12:00pm – 3:00pm at the Microsoft PacWest office located at 1414 Northrup (in the Pearl district).

Our own Rusty Lee, CallMyPcDr.com will be presenting on a topic that we have been waiting for and all need to hear:

HIPAA for IT Consultants “What You Need To Know – Part 2”

First we’ll get a quick refresher and then focus on preparing and performing audits.  There are two kinds of audits:

1) Internal Compliance Audits:  Do the job right and you won’t have to worry about the second audit type.

2) Government or Legal Audits

There was so much to cover last August, that we felt we needed to have a second session to tap into some of the additional content.

With the many requirements and regulations of HIPAA, it feels impossible to know what our responsibilities are as IT Consultants and Service Providers.  Rusty has attended a course on this subject to prepare his own business and will be sharing vital information for our businesses that we all need to be aware of as to how we engage and serve our medical clients.

A bit about our engaging presenter:
