The No-Hassle Guide to HIPAA Policies: A Privacy and Security Toolkit

The essential guide for developing and updating HIPAA privacy and security policies…

because you have to do it anyway.

Fine tune your existing process for compliance excellence
HIPAA regulations require extensive documentation—likely more than you’ve done in the past. Changing the way you look at meeting them doesn’t mean starting back at the beginning. When you have the right blueprint, all you have to do it fine tune it.

HIPAA expert Kate Borten wrote The No-Hassle Guide to HIPAA Policies: A Privacy and Security Toolkit the same way she writes HIPAA policy: it’s clear, unambiguous, and easy to follow. You’ll understand what you need to do and the consequences of not following through. You’ll develop and implement policies that are meaningful and—perhaps most important—enforceable.

In The No-Hassle Guide to HIPAA Policies, Borten:

• Provides her own sample privacy and security forms and includes more from leading healthcare organizations.
• Writes in clear, easy-to-understand language.
• Delivers all of the policies and forms on the accompanying CD-ROM. Your blue print to success is just a mouse-click away.
• Shares privacy, security, and enforcement strategies for settings ranging from hospitals to longer-term care facilities, ambulatory centers to physicians practices, as well as executive boards.

In addition to Borten’s expertise and guidance, The No-Hassle Guide to HIPAA Policies includes 39 sample policies and 16 forms, broken down between privacy, security, and combined privacy/security. Each is included on the accompanying CD-ROM.

Plus, this must-have guide also includes an appendix/glossary that contains selected terms and their specific meaning in the context of HIPAA, as well as instructions find the HIPAA’s combined privacy/security/enforcement regulation text with amendments on the government’s Web site.

WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK:

Privacy officers, privacy officials, information security officers, compliance officers, HIM directors, and every healthcare officer charged with HIPAA compliance will find The No-Hassle Guide to HIPAA Policies is the blueprint for compliance excellence.
