Is your organization HIPAA compliant? Do your privacy and security policies measure up?

I came across the below linked article in the HIPAA journal today and was honestly surprised by the stats. March resulted a whopping 46.51% increase in HIPAA breaches when compared to February. That is scary!

It’s time for us to reevaluate our privacy and security practices and policies, folks.

“In March, 63 breaches of 500 or more records were reported to OCR, which is a 46.51% increase from February, 6.92% more than the 12-month average, and 40% more breaches than in March 2022.”

The OIG is well underway with their 2022 workplan efforts. In May the work plan was updated to announce the intent to audit the Covid-19 add on payments. How will you measure up?
