#  Privacy and Protecting Your Practice

**Presentation Date:** 18 October 2020

**Duration:** 0:48:19

**Return to:** [AuDacity Archive](https://www.audiologist.org/audacity-archive)

What is a practice required to do to protect patient information today? We’ll review some of the most prevalent security threats today, as well as the Office of Civil Rights’ focus areas on recent penalties. We’ll cover best practices for your HIPAA compliance program, including how to develop a culture of compliance (including a healthy paranoia) within your organization. Learn where to start, how to prepare your practice, what to prioritize, and documentation to maintain in case of an audit.
