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](http://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/compliance-enforcement/audit/protocol/index.html), 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? 

Watch this on-demand webinar, "OCR (HIPAA Stage 2) Audits: What to Expect and How to Prepare", featuring Steve Spearman and Michelle Richards to learn:

- Best Practices for Conducting a HIPAA Risk Assessment
- What to Do If Your Organization is Targeted for an Audit
- How to Get Your Organization Compliant Before You’re Audited
