Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.
In our latest episode, we give group practice owners a heads up about upcoming changes to the HIPAA Security Rule.
We discuss what the focus of these rule changes will be; why the changes are happening; steps you can take to be proactive about HIPAA changes; and PCT’s practical tools to help you get on top of things in a manageable way.
