POOF

Responsible for Your Organization’s Privacy and Security Program?

  • Make Sure Your Practice Is HIPAA Compliant – Even Though You Don’t Have the Training, Background (or even interest)
  • Master the Must-Know Essentials You Need to Oversee Your Practice’s Privacy and Security Program – in Just TWO Days
  • Reserve Your Place for Privacy Officer Organizational Fundamentals (a.k.a. “POOF”)

Your practice is required to comply with HIPAA. And you know it’s important – for your organization and your patients.

But when you have zero experience or training to effectively handle the responsibility (not to mention your “real” job to do) … it’s hard to find the enthusiasm to take on such a complex and confusing project. It’s much easier to ignore the issue … and roll the dice that you won’t get caught.

We can help.
