HIPAA Security Breaches: 10 Steps to Take When a Breach Occurs

HHS begins enforcing the new security breach notification rule this month — Feb. 17 to be exact — and HIPAA covered entities and business associates would be well-advised to have response plans in place in case they have a suspected security breach. How will you identify breaches that must be reported, mitigate risk to your organization and the individuals involved, and comply fully with this new law, which has potentially enormous penalties? Find out the exact steps you should take to minimize the damage caused by a security breach and prevent impermissible disclosures down the road.

How should they respond to protect individuals whose information may have been compromised, to reduce the risk of severe fines and penalties, and to prevent further security breaches?

Two privacy experts set forth the details of a 10-step plan for recognizing and responding to potential security breaches. Rebecca Fayed, an attorney with Sonnenschein Nath and Rosenthal LLP in Washington, D.C., who specializes in privacy and security, details these complex new legal obligations. Greg Young, the privacy and information security officer at Mammoth Hospital in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., mixes in his tried-and-true security procedures and the practical strategies he provides to his own information management team.

You’ll come away with a well-organized 10-point action plan for what to do if/when you suspect a breach has occurred at your organization, with coverage of:
