Contingency Plan for Disasters - Are You Prepared?
Date & Time:
Most medical and dental practices are ill prepared for disasters. In
addition to the enormous difficulty in returning to business following
a disaster, OSHA and HIPAA rules now require that medical and
dental practices have a plan of action that will ensure that patient
data will not be lost and to also have a plan in place to provide a
return to care for its patients.
The final HIPAA Security Rule mandates that medical and dental
practices assess which types of disasters could damage their
systems that contain electronic protected health information and that
they need to develop policies and procedures that will mitigate these
risks by providing a plan for backup, storage, and recovery. In
determining the possible disasters that could impact their practices,
all possible disasters must be considered, even those with low risk.
Once this is done, a plan of action needs to be documented that will
detail the procedures that need to be done prior to any possible
disaster, those that need to be performed when any disaster might
be imminent, and those required following the disaster. This plan will
need to lay out the jobs that will need to be handled by the different
staff members. Failure to have such a plan in place can lead to fines
and even jail time.
Is your medical or dental practice compliant with HIPAA and OSHA
rules? Most are woefully ill prepared and face the possibility of steep
fines and even imprisonment of the practice owners if such a plan is
not in place. Medical and dental practices face huge challenges in
simply recovering from a disaster but now are required to have a
plan in place that documents how they will be prepared for such an
event prior to the disaster. This plan must detail how they will
recover from all possible disasters and also ensure that they are
prepared to protect patient health information and make that
information available for continuation of care. Do you know what
those rules are and how to prepare this plan? Attendees of
"Contingency Plan for Disasters - Are You Prepared" will learn how to
create just such a plan and be compliant with those rules.
