Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.
In our latest episode, we explain the cybersecurity goals as outlined by Health and Human Services (HHS) in light of the upcoming HIPAA Security Rule changes.
We discuss the different categories of goals that are outlined; being proactive so your practice is ready when changes come; the essential goals HHS has outlined and what they mean; the encouraged goals HHS has outlined and what they mean; why these goals make sense; and how the PCT Way can help you meet these cybersecurity goals.
