Ep 51: Small Office HIPAA Compliance


We often talk about doing the "work" of compliance. Some people seem to have the attitude that all I need to do some is annual staff training and hand out a Notice of Privacy Practices to do small office HIPAA compliance. When we try to explain there is more to it than that we often get pushback about the requirements.

We always hear comments like:

  • we don't have time,
  • we don't have resources,
  • we can't be expected to do this.

So, how DO you do small office HIPAA compliance? Today we are going to talk to someone who is definitely doing the work of HIPAA compliance in a small office.  We are doing an interview with Erien Fryer of Medical Direct Care in Clarksville, TN to discuss small office HIPAA compliance issues, obstacles, and how to just get it done.
