In conclusion, we reviewed what the HIPAA and HITECH laws are, who manages the law, and who is required to comply. Both covered entities and business associates share in the responsibility to protect PHI at all times. It is important that covered entities ensure their business associates are partners and have their best interest in mind. We also reviewed that complete health records can sell for hundreds of dollars on the dark web and why cybercriminals want PHI. It is critical that you protect PHI at all times, not only for your patients' security but also to protect the legacy of your practice or business. Through this leadership course, we also discussed the responsibilities of the privacy officer, security officer, and the business associate. We reviewed why you are required to have a risk assessment, a customized book of evidence that includes your policies and procedures, and the importance of the business associate agreement.
