HIPAA Reference Guide - eBook - Second Edition

Is your HIPAA compliance program and breach reporting up to date?

Over 94% of providers have experienced some form of data breach, and over 50% have had 5 or more data breaches. From phishing campaigns and PHI-containing emails sent to the wrong recipients to unencrypted devices and servers left publicly accessible, the total number of breaches in 2019 outnumbered the previous year by more than 33%, according to research from Risk Based Security. 

Get comprehensive guidance to implement HIPAA protocols and prevent the fallout of a data breach with AAPC’s HIPAA Reference Guide.
