Preparing for the Inevitable–Best Practices for Preventing, Investigating, and Responding to HIPAA Security Incidents & Breaches

Technology has made the exchange of information easier than ever. But that ease comes with a price.

This webinar will discuss proactive steps that can be taken to prevent a breach, and in the event of a breach, what must be done to comply with HIPAA.
