During our fall conference, OPRA President Tom Weaver announced our new initiative to supply HIPAA compliance materials specially tailored to the I/DD sector. Tom encouraged all I/DD providers to take HIPAA seriously -- both to protect the people we all serve, who are especially vulnerable, and to avoid costly penalties that can result from even well-meaning disclosures.
OPRA's HR Committee worked with Ohio-based MyHIPAA Guide on this effort, and helped steer the creation of materials that focus on elevating integrity and good business practices for our providers. We're extending a $200 discount on MyHIPAA Guide subscriptions through Nov. 30. The subscription gives you all the materials you need to work though the HIPAA compliance process, including mandatory staff training and Business Associate agreements. One option includes unlimited email and phone consultation. Go to https://hipaa.opra.org for more information and to access the coupon code.
