Are You Ready for Your OCR HIPAA Audit?

Jocelyn Samuels, the Director of the OCR has confirmed that Phase Two of the HIPAA compliance audits will be commencing in early 2016 and that organizations need to prepare if they have not done so already; and according to HIPAA Journal, business associates will not be excluded from the audits this time. The original audits – Phase One – were aimed at educating covered entities and particularly in educating them. They did include companies who appeared on the OCR Wall of Shame, but not typically companies that suffered breaches with less than 500 patient records being exposed. Not this time around: in Phase Two, not only are audits to be expected of all sizes of covered entities, but also of their business partners, who supposedly have had time to get their houses in order; and fines and enforcement orders are anticipated.

If you have not already done so, you need to complete a professional security risk assessment: believe it or not, during Phase One it was found that two-thirds of companies had not even completed this baseline document. Next, clearly document all your required policies: record that your staff are complying with these policies. Make sure you have a designated Security Officer and a Privacy Officer and that they are fully conversant with their obligations.

Finally, make sure your staff are trained to use electronic systems – both operationally and ethically - trained to recognize social engineering, and trained to use an automated secure email encryption system such as ZixGateway. If you have not done so already, now is definitely the right time to prepare.
