How To Prepare For HIPAA Stage 2 Audits

In 2012, the Office of Civil Rights implemented a HIPAA Audit pilot program mandated by HITECH, the legislation that also created the Meaningful Use Program. During the pilot program, 98% of healthcare providers audited had at least one negative finding regarding Security Rule compliance.

This pilot program was a precursor to Stage 2 audits, which are now underway. If your organization is targeted for an audit, you’ll have 10 days to reply to the OCR and upload the requested documents. These Stage 2 audits have more than 1300 elements (questions, document requests, etc.) covering Privacy, Security and Breach. Is your organization ready?
