Don’t Let A Breach Catch You By Surprise
A breach isn’t always intentional. Inadvertent and accidental breaches can be just as costly.
Protect Your Business from Common Mistakes
Not all Protected Health Information (PHI) breaches are intentional. Many of them are the result of honest mistakes, simple misjudgments, and lapses in policy and training. Unfortunately, good intentions don’t protect you from legal fees and fines when PHI is exposed.
HIPAA Shield from Benefit Comply is an easy-to-use tool that can make compliance fast and reliable.
Do These Mistakes Sound Familiar?
Exposure of PHI can occur for a wide variety of reasons–many of which you may not have considered. Real world examples of PHI breaches include:
- An HR manager sharing PHI with a department manager.
- Using PHI to make employment decisions (for example, terminating an employee due to a substance use disorder treatment).
- Employees misusing PHI, especially if the employer cannot point to any documented training designed to prevent this misuse.
- An employer disclosing PHI to a family member or friend without getting authorization.
- Employees accessing PHI on an unsecured wi-fi connection (for example, when working from home or from a coffee shop)
