Compliance Update: Susan Walberg
By Susan Walberg
As we noted in a previous Compliance update, CAO has entered into an agreement with HIPAA Secure Now. This company will be leading the CAO efforts for compliance with HIPAA Privacy and Security requirements as well as Meaningful Use. They will also be conducting Information Security Risk Assessments which are already underway in some divisions. All Administrators have been sent login information for the HIPAA Secure Now portal, which has training for employees and will also house Privacy, Security, and Compliance policies.
In addition, the CAO Board of Managers has approved the Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy. These documents will be available later in the quarter. Several other Compliance policies have also been approved and will be released shortly.
