Contingency Plan for Disasters - Are You Prepared 2012

Most medical and dental practices are ill prepared for disasters. In addition to the enormous difficulty in returning to business following a disaster, OSHA and HIPAA rules now require that medical and dental practices have a plan of action that will ensure that patient data will not be lost and to also have a plan in place to provide a return to care for its patients.

Why you should attend:

Is your medical or dental practice compliant with HIPAA and OSHA rules? Most are woefully ill prepared and face the possibility of steep fines and even imprisonment of the practice owners if such a plan is not in place. Medical and dental practices face huge challenges in simply recovering from a disaster but now are required to have a plan in place that documents how they will be prepared for such an event prior to the disaster. This plan must detail how they will recover from all possible disasters and also ensure that they are prepared to protect patient health information and make that information available for continuation of care.
