Overview: The statistics don't lie. When a culture of compliance is not present, breaches occur. The cornerstone of creating a culture begins with robust training of all personnel, from the top down. While the regulations and the Office for Civil Rights ("OCR") can determine the "technical" requirements of training, they fail to outline the specific training regime. It falls to the organization to define successful training unique to its own organization. This training needs to engage the participants in ways that internalizes the information into their day-to-day activities, creating a culture that embraces privacy as part of the delivery of care. 

Sounds simple, so why the large number of data breaches tied directly to failures in organizations creating this culture of compliance? Creating a culture of compliance might begin with training, though this can't be all there is. In a recent comments by the Head of the Office for Civil Rights, stated "Employee training is the most common activity but does not seem to be effective in reducing insider negligence." So something is missing.

Beyond training, creating a successful culture of compliance is a function of addressing some additional areas:

• Everyone in the organization needs to see themselves as responsible for privacy and security of health information
• Managers need to establish the importance of data privacy
• Privacy and Security gaps need to be Identified and corrected regularly, and most importantly
• Privacy needs to be a part of the daily operation of your organization

In this presentation, we will discuss both how training and additional areas need to be integrated to create the culture of compliance that is your first and best defense for avoiding breaches.

Why should you attend: The most prevalent origin of patient data breaches- 43% of them-can be attributed to unintentional employee actions; though many would argue that inadequate training is involved in almost all breaches. Recognizing this, the Office for Civil Rights, has focused many statements on the fact that the best defense to avoid and address data breaches is by creating a culture of compliance. What does a culture of compliance mean, and how do you create one.

In this session we will define what a culture of compliance means, how you can recognize one and the steps you can take to create one in your organization. We will discuss which parts of the HIPAA Regulations can help you in building your culture, while building your HIPAA compliance, and the common traps and pitfalls that will cause your efforts to fail.
