Brad Rostolsky was interviewed for a podcast and accompanying article entitled “HIPAA Audits: Getting Ready." With the recent appearance of screening surveys from the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) aimed towards covered entities and business associates, Brad says that the OCR appears to be getting ready for phase two of its random HIPAA compliance audits. As a result, both covered entities and business associates – particularly those who received the OCR screening survey – should start preparing themselves for the possibility of a HIPAA audit in the near future. In the podcast, Brad lays out the steps that these organizations should take in their preparations, and also explains the key differences between the audits of covered entities and the audits of business associates.
