HHS has begun conducting surprise audits of hospitals' HIPAA compliance with HIPAA's privacy rules.  Are you ready? 

Oral privacy is often a blind spot for HIPAA-governed entities - one which most healthcare providers have significant exposure to fines and costly litigation.  Have you applied "reasonable safeguards" to ensure that, for example, people near your hospital's nursing station don't overhear a doctor's diagnosis of a patient? 

Remember, the same protections afforded to paper and electronically based information must apply to verbal communications as well. 

You've probably spent a lot of money securing your computer network.  How about your "human network"?
