Help Me With Hipaa

Is your healthcare organization ready for a triple threat, or are you playing a risky game of cybersecurity roulette with delayed access, ransomware demands, and a missing incident response plan? Today, we explore three tales in healthcare that are equal parts cautionary and compelling. We kick things off with the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council’s shiny new cyber incident response checklist—aka your cheat sheet for keeping calm in the face of chaos. Then, we give you the juicy details of a hefty civil money penalty slapped on a healthcare entity for dragging their feet on providing patient records (spoiler alert: patience isn’t a virtue when it comes to HIPAA). Finally, we unravel the saga of a ransomware attack that not only encrypted data but also emptied some wallets. Whether you’re here to learn, laugh, or just feel better about your own compliance game, this episode’s got you covered. Buckle up, because the HIPAA ride is wild! More info at HelpMeWithHIPAA.com/487
