Surprise! HIPAA audit!

March 4, 2008

It appears that HHS has engaged PriceWaterhouseCoopers to perform HIPAA compliance audits at hospitals that have been the subject of complaints under the security rule.  They’ll start with about 10 hospitals, and results will be posted on the HHS website — if violations are egregious, the hospitals will be identified.  (Hat tip to the folks at CHCF and iHealthBeat.)
