As a SEO Ccontent writer and geo-targeting expert, I write for a variety of industries and niche markets. Here is an example of an article for HIPPAA Compliance about a breach that took place in Anchorage Alaska.
Recent Breach – Anchorage Community Health Service, Inc. (ACMHS)
HIPPAA compliance is a serious issue and with the recent court rulings about HIPPAA compliance, you can’t afford to take any chances when it comes to breaches in the way you conduct your business. If the covered entity does not take action to resolve the matter in a way that is satisfactory, OCR (responsible for investigating complaints and enforcing the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules ) may decide to impose civil money penalties (CMPs) on the covered entity.
Recent Breach – Anchorage Community Health Service, Inc. (ACMHS)
ACMHS , a five-facility nonprofit provider of behavioral health care services for children, adults and families in Anchorage, Alaska notified OCR (the Office of Civil Rights responsible for enforcing the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules) of a breach of 2,743 patient records caused by malware on one of its desktop computers,
OCR Investigation Findings and Fines
OCR conducted an investigation of the incident and found ACMHS had failed to protect sensitive patient information. ACMHS has agreed to settle potential violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Security Rule with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights. ACMHS will also pay $150,000 and adopt a corrective action plan to correct deficiencies in its HIPAA compliance program.
The security incident was the direct result of ACMHS failing to identify and address basic risks, such as not regularly updating their IT resources with available patches and running outdated, unsupported software..” All organizations, not just health care businesses, can suffer losses for delaying or neglecting software updates.
