While organizations are actively trying to prevent these attacks, ironically the number of attacks seems to be constantly on the rise. More shockingly, the 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report released by Verizon indicates a dramatic increase in cyber-attacks linked to hacktivist groups. Groups like ‘Anonymous’ and ‘LulzSec’ are seen to attack organizations for reasons other than financial gain. lillymark Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:54:01 GMT http://www.egestalt.com/blog/2012/10/01/health-information-breach-tally-soon-to-cross-20-million/ The tally of healthcare information breaches seems to be steadily increasing despite security regulations and associated legal action.

However, what is more striking is how these two final rules are intertwined with the privacy and security requirements of HIPAA, although many commenters on the proposed rules have asked the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to remove redundancies. lillymark Wed, 05 Sep 2012 11:29:33 GMT http://www.egestalt.com/blog/2012/02/03/hipaa-audits-coming-your-way-are-you-prepared/ Just when you may be thinking that your compliance and security needs are taken care of, here comes another thing to worry about: The HIPAA Compliance Audit Program. HIPAA Audits will be taken upon accordance with Section 13411 of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) to ensure that covered entities and their business associates are in compliance with the privacy and security rules of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. lillymark Tue, 22 May 2012 03:41:24 GMT http://www.egestalt.com/blog/2012/03/23/hipaa-audits-to-continue-in-2013-here%E2%80%99s-what-to-expect/ In an interview with Howard Anderson from HealthcareInfoSecurity, Leon Rodriguez, Director of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights (OCR) outlined the HIPAA audit plans for the this year and next. He said that the number of completed HIPAA audits this year will be lesser than the originally planned 150, and this is because of the funding levels of the office and the capacity of KPMG, which is the firm hired to undertake the audit program. lillymark Tue, 17 Apr 2012 06:57:58 GMT https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/411398950 HIPAA/HITECH compliance is a complex and ever evolving subject affecting millions of health care businesses and their business associates. All medical providers and their business associates need to be HIPAA/HITECH compliant. Besides, all medical providers have a joint responsibility to ensure that they along with their business associates and subcontractors are HIPAA/HITECH compliant, otherwise they risk high fines, potential criminal liabilities and patient lawsuits followed by brand damage. lillymark Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:37:56 GMT
