How to Comply with Third-Party Risk Management Requirements in HIPAA

The US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was established to ensure that sensitive protected health information (PHI) would not be disclosed without a patient's consent. Although HIPAA regulations are most closely aligned with "covered entities" such as health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and some healthcare providers, it also applies to "business associates" — aka, third-party vendors with access to PHI.

Join compliance experts Sophie Pothecary and Thomas Humphreys as they explore how HIPAA impacts your third-party risk management (TPRM) program.

In this session, Sophie and Thomas discuss:

• How HIPAA defines protected information in the HIPAA Security Rule
• Who qualifies as a "business associate"
• The risks your organization faces when a vendor violates HIPAA
• What third-party risk management capabilities address PHI risks
