A breach is an impermissible use or disclosure that compromises the security or privacy of PHI and poses a significant risk of financial, reputational, or other harm to the affected individual. Breach notification is necessary in all situations except those in which the covered entity or business associate demonstrates that there is a low probability that the PHI has been compromised. What to Do When You Have a Breach? You have to notify the affected individual immediately in case of a breach You should notify the same day the breach has been identified or within a maximum of 60 days The notice, in plain language, should include: What happened: date of breach and discovery What information was breached What steps the affected individual should take to protect him/herself What covered entity is doing about it: Investigating the incident Mitigating the impact Steps taken to protect against any future incidents Contact information : a toll-free number, email and postal address or a specific website where the individual can get more information/ advice/ give feedback For more details visit us at:http://www.complianceonline.com/the-new-hipaa-audit-program-focus-webinar-training-703180-prdw?channel=ppt-slideserve
