OCR’s Right of Access Initiative
JOIN US AND LEARN WHILE YOU LUNCH! Friday, August 14th
Gina Campanella, Esq., FACHE
Principal, Campanella Law Office
Your inability to provide patients with seamless access to their medical records puts you at significant risk for an $85,000 Federal penalty. All it takes is just one patient to feel like you’re not meeting their medical records’ access needs, and for them to file a complaint, for you to be in the audit hot seat.
Patient complaints have led to the first two settlements in Federal investigations under the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) Right of Access new enforcement initiative. Making the same mistakes can result in the identification of costly medical records’ access violations at your practice. Government right-to-access enforcement is increasing.
In fact, it is now easier than ever for your patients to file a HIPAA access compliant online - they simply have to click a button. And considering that about a third of HIPAA complaints involve right-of-access issues, you can’t afford not to attend this training.
This session is essential for everyone at your practice who handles the disclosure of patient information.
