OSHA – “OSHA is Here! No Need to Fear”
The OSHA inspector is standing at your front desk. Does that create a knot in your stomach? Untie it! This course will prepare you to breeze through an inspection by providing a detailed review of the Bloodborne Pathogen standard, Hazard Communication, and other pertinent regulations. Attendees will receive useful checklists to assist with compliance documentation. The step-by-step process of an OSHA inspection will be discussed along with how to respond if citations/penalties are issued. It is possible to ‘never fear’ an OSHA inspection!

HIPAA – “Locking Down Privacy and Security: Protecting Patient Information”
It has been close to 25 years since the HIPAA Privacy Rule was published, soon to be followed by the Security Rule. And yet, almost daily there are reports of inappropriate access of patient information either by staff members or cybercriminals. Does your practice diligently protect information? This session will review the key elements of both the Privacy and Security rules. There will be a focus on the patient’s right to access health information, dealing with a breach, and important elements of cybersecurity.
