Training: Regular HIPAA training for all staff members to familiarize them with the latest regulations and best practices. Secure Systems: Use of encrypted and secure electronic health record (EHR) systems to store and transmit patient information. Audit Trails: Maintain audit trails to monitor access to patient records and identify any unauthorized access or anomalies. Policies and Procedures: Develop and enforce comprehensive policies and procedures for handling patient information securely.
