HIPAA Toolkit: Understanding Penalties and Enforcement (8 of 10)

Welcome to the “HIPAA Toolkit: Understanding Penalties and Enforcement” video lesson that describes the tiered system of penalties for HIPAA violations as well as how HIPAA requirements are enforced. This lesson is part of the “HIPAA Toolkit,” which covers a variety of topics related to HIPAA compliance. From this lesson, viewers will learn about how the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces the Privacy and Security Rules. Plus, learners will see how the Health Information Technology for Clinical Health (HITECH) Act strengthened the ability for the OCR to enforce those rules through a tiered system of fines. To help bring it all together, this lesson will also explain the enforcement process for HIPAA requirements.
