HIPAA Checklist

HIPAA compliance is a team effort. One slip by any team member or a lapse in your network security can compromise sensitive information. So it’s important to develop a culture of HIPAA compliance. This HIPAA checklist is a guide to making the changes many medical offices around Tampa need.

• Annual Risk Assessment ______________________
• Security Officer ______________________
• HIPAA Policies and Procedures
• Employee Disciplinary Log
