Happy Thanksgiving from the HMWH team. Since we just talked with Erik Decker the last two weeks about HICP it seemed fitting that our Thanksgiving replay this year is the discussion we had about our initial review of HICP earlier in 2019. That was episode 189.
Thanks for listening and enjoy the Holiday season!
Today we share part 2 of our Erik Decker HICP discussion. Learn about more tools for small and medium organizations. The 405(d) Task Group has more work to do so learn ways you can help spread the word about using these tools to improve healthcare cybersecurity. We even ask how we can all help promote cybersecurity awareness and HICP to improve the healthcare cybersecurity.
We covered the release of HICP or Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices: Managing Threats and Protecting Patients back in Feb in the episode we called 5 Threats and 10 Protection Practices – Ep 189. HICP has now been out for a bit and the next phases of the project are in process. Today we discuss all things HICP with Erik Decker who is the Health Sector Coordinating Council Co-Lead of the 405(d) Task Group that developed this tool to help our sector follow solid cybersecurity practices.

HIPAA penalties are always discussed in training and presentations about HIPAA. Those discussions are usually more about an overview of what is in the law than actual information on how the law is applied. HIPAA penalties are really not seen often. Civil money penalties are not part of the settlements we usually see but OCR announced a big one in October. How do they really apply those huge numbers everyone talks about but we never see?
