During the NIST OCR HIPAA Security Conference we covered in the last two episodes, there was also a session on OCR Audit Updates. OCR gave an update on the information gleaned so far from the compliance desk audits that were started in 2016. Their presentation included some interesting details. Today we cover the information they shared so you can compare and contrast those details against your own program.

We recorded this episode on the day that Harvey was hitting Houston and had no idea just how bad that disaster would eventually become for those on the gulf coast. On the day we publish this episode, we are both personally involved in the evacuations and preparations in advance of Irma. She is forecast to hit Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas in the next few days. The timing for this discussion could not be more appropriate from a news perspective but this planning should have already taken place prior to this date for those in the paths of these deadly storms.
As you listen to this episode, know that we had no idea just how bad things were about to become for the millions of people under the stress of these major natural disasters. Take care in your planning now if you haven't been in these areas, your turn may be next and there is no way you want to be dealing with anything similar without a plan.
What do you have in your disaster recovery plans?
