Description

HIPAA expectations are shifting in 2026—and organizations need to be ready. This webinar offers a clear, step-by-step guide to HIPAA compliance with a focus on what’s changing, what OCR is prioritizing, and how to reduce the risk of audits, breaches, and enforcement actions. You’ll walk away with practical actions you can apply immediately to strengthen privacy, security, and overall compliance readiness.

Key Points
  • Mandatory 2026 Privacy Rule Updates: Get clarity on what’s changing, why the February 16 deadline matters, and how outdated Notices of Privacy Practices (NPPs) can increase enforcement risk.
  • OCR Enforcement Priorities: Understand what HHS/OCR is focusing on in 2026—especially Right of Access issues, missing or weak documentation, and repeat Privacy Rule violations.
  • Security Rule & Cyber Risk Expectations: Learn how proposed Security Rule updates raise the bar for risk analysis, safeguards, incident response planning, and ongoing monitoring.
  • Common Audit Red Flags: Identify the most frequent operational and documentation gaps that trigger investigations, penalties, and corrective action plans.
  • Actionable Compliance Roadmap: Leave with a workable plan for policy updates, workforce training, risk assessments, and governance controls to reduce breach and audit exposure.
