Plagued: The CEOs Ultimate Guide to HIPAA Compliance and Cybersecurity

Should you really be focusing on IT Security over patient care? Are you constantly wondering if the HHS or worse — cybercrime — will hit your office?

Plagued answers these pressing questions and more:

• How much are medical records worth?
• Why is there so much focus on hospitals?
• Are your employees a liability?
• Where are you most vulnerable to attack?
• Why healthcare IT Security hasn’t worked?
• Why size DOESN’T matter when cybercrime is involved.
• How can I get HIPAA compliant without spending an arm and a leg?
• How can I know that my hospital is HIPAA compliant?

My solution for you is painless. Instead of settling for mediocre solutions that either (1) cost your hospital an arm and a leg or (2) fail to protect the personal data that the government and (more importantly) your patients entrust to you, why not get an IT solution that leverages HIPAA compliance guidelines instead of fighting them?

As you will see throughout this book, I believe your patients, your users and your business all deserve IT Support and Security that strive to surpass government security standards. By leveraging the guidelines put forth through HIPAA, I will show you a solution that won’t only keep you compliant with government standards, but will also save you money in the process (AND keep your business and protected data secure).

I wrote this book for you — the administrator or hospital CEO that doesn’t have time to read tomes of legislation, books chock full of technical jargon and problem-pointing books that all fail in giving you a guideline on how Healthcare IT can effectively implement HIPAA standards while keeping your business completely secure in an era of malicious hospital cyberattacks.
