  • Cybersecurity In Your Privacy Impact Assessment
    Nov 2 2022

    How To Include Cybersecurity In Your Privacy Impact Assessment

    Keeping information safe and secure is a challenging development for businesses of all sizes over the last few years. Remote working and using cloud hosted services forced healthcare practices to change, or at least re-examine, their cybersecurity practices and protocols.

    According to CyberEdge’s Cyberthreat Defense Report, 85% of organizations suffered from a successful cyberattack in 2021.

    A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is an important tool to help understand the risks to patient health information and your healthcare business.

    Does Your PIA Include Cybersecurity Risks and Mitigation Plan?

    You should review your PIA regularly, at least annually, and update your risk mitigation plans when there is a change in your administrative, technical, or physical practices. You also need to consider that the threat environment external to your business, like the increasing risk of cybersecurity vulnerabilities, can damage your business.

    In this Episode #107 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast, Jean L. Eaton, Practical Privacy Coach with Information Managers shows us how to include cybersecurity risks in your PIA.

  • How AI Improves EMR Auditing
    Sep 7 2020

    Healthcare providers and clinic managers have three common myths about EMR user monitoring auditing.

    Myth #1 – The electronic medical record EMR automatically does all the auditing – I don’t have to do anything

    Myth #2 – I don’t have to audit my users – I know them

    Myth #3 – I won’t have to worry about this until I have a breach

  • How To Keep Privacy Awareness Top Of Mind
    Aug 30 2020

    Recently, I was asked about what privacy awareness training can you do at the clinic to keep privacy awareness top of mind.

    How do you keep Privacy Awareness top-of-mind in your practice?

    As an employer and health care provider, you are responsible to provide training to all of your employees about privacy awareness. If you don’t provide the training, if the employees don’t understand the policies and there is a privacy breach, then the healthcare provider is more likely to be held accountable under the legislation and face penalties including fines and even prison!

    Protect your organization and your patients. Equip your staff with the information they need to confidently and correctly handle personal health information. Healthcare businesses who want employee and supervisor level privacy awareness training to support key policies, procedures and risk management programs need a privacy awareness training program.

    Here are some easy to implement tips to help you get started with your privacy awareness program.
