Getting Ahead of the HIPAA Security Rule Overhaul

A practice manager’s readiness playbook. What is changing, what it means for your practice, and where to start this quarter.

The HIPAA Security Rule is being modernized for the first time in roughly 20 years. The requirements are still proposed, not final, but the direction is clear and enforcement is already moving toward these controls. In 30 minutes, we will walk you through the changes in plain language and turn them into a simple readiness checklist any independent practice can act on. No security background required. No sales pitch.

You Will Leave Able To:

• See where you stand. Understand exactly how your practice measures up against the proposed requirements, from encryption and multi-factor authentication to continuous monitoring and vendor agreements.
• Run a basic gap check. Walk through a simple self-evaluation against the new expectations, no technical background needed.
• Prioritize with confidence. Identify the highest-impact, lowest-cost fixes to tackle first.
• Decide what to hand off. Know what your team can reasonably handle in-house and where a partner makes sense.

Every registrant receives a practice-level readiness worksheet you can put to work the same day.

Why This Matters Now

The Security Rule has not seen a major update in about two decades. That is changing. The proposed overhaul makes expectations more concrete: encryption, multi-factor authentication, continuous monitoring, documented incident response, and tighter vendor agreements. Practices that start now get to close gaps on their own timeline and budget. Practices that wait will be reacting under pressure.

This session helps you get ahead of it, with guidance you can trust and act on today.

Built for the People Who Run the Practice
