OCR Drops More + NCSAM Week 3 Healthcare - Ep 276


We get to week 3 of #BeCyberSmart NCSAM. We had no idea when we made this plan that OCR would start dropping settlements at the same time. After a pretty quiet year they announced more settlements in September than they ever had in a single month before. Again, we have a lot to review! Reminds me of one of my favorite movie quotes:

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  Ferris Bueller

There is so much going on right now it is hard to keep up. I know there is a lot of activity when we can’t keep an eye on everything!
