The Consequences of Noncompliance

Introduction:
Changes in the HIPAA Privacy and Security rules are significant and will have a major impact on health care providers as well as “noncovered entities.” New enforcement provisions indicate that an approach to compliance that uses a strategy of “quick fixes” through technology will not suffice to address the new regulatory requirements. Organizations must become proactive in their compliance efforts. Voluntary compliance is no longer the state of the regularity environment.
