The year 2012 draws to a close, and with it the first year of HHS OCR audits nears an end. As might be expected, the audit results must be analyzed before regulators decide how the evaluation program will continue. What happens in the meantime? Healthcare organizations across the US are still charged to move forward with measuring and improving the privacy and security of patient data in their care.

Join global risk and security leader Kroll Advisory Solutions and its panel of experts from law and information privacy on December 12 at 2:00 p.m. EST, when they will discuss what’s been learned, what’s expected, and offer insights and best practices for covered entities in the quest for compliance absent more formal guidance.
