How To Include Cybersecurity In Your Privacy Impact Assessment Keeping information safe and secure is a challenging development for businesses of all sizes over the last few years. Remote working and using cloud hosted services forced healthcare practices to change, or at least re-examine, their cybersecurity practices and protocols. According to CyberEdge's Cyberthreat Defense Report, 85% of organizations suffered from a successful cyberattack in 2021. A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is an important tool to help understand the risks to patient health information and your healthcare business. Does Your PIA Include Cybersecurity Risks and Mitigation Plan? You should review your PIA regularly, at least annually, and update your risk mitigation plans when there is a change in your administrative, technical, or physical practices. You also need to consider that the threat environment external to your business, like the increasing risk of cybersecurity vulnerabilities, can damage your business. In this Episode #107 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast, Jean L. Eaton, Practical Privacy Coach with Information Managers shows us how to include cybersecurity risks in your PIA. #BeCyberSmart #PrivacyImpactAssessment #PIA #HIA #PHIPA See all the show notes and links on our website! https://PracticeManagementNuggets.Live
Producer/Host: Jim Campbell Maine is the only state that borders only one other state, which means that we have very long national borders with the ocean and with Canada. That, in turn, means that most, if not all of Maine, is within 100 miles of a US national border, and that fact gives the Customs and Border Protection Agency the ability to do a lot of things in the name of border protection that would not happen beyond that 100 mile border. One of those things is the ability to use license plate reader technology on any car on Maine roads without any warrant or warning. CBP’s recent “Privacy Impact Assessment for the CBP License Plate Reader Technology” describes the risks to our personal privacy of that program. The link is here It’s worth reading. Here’s why.

A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is Good for Business A PIA is part of a regular business process if you collect, use, or disclose personal health information in your healthcare practice. When you have a previous PIA that has been prepared, submitted to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) and it has been accepted for use--well, that is not the end of your PIA journey. You need to ensure that you are updating and amending your PIA as your practice matures and as you make administrative and technical changes to the procedures in your practice. Join Jean L. Eaton, Your Practical Privacy Coach and Your Practice Management Mentor and host of this podcast to discover the common triggers that require you to consider if it is time for you to do a PIA amendment.

A Privacy Impact Assessment is Easy – When You Start With a Good Plan! Do you need a PIA? or a PIA amendment? If you are a healthcare provider or clinic manager and are not sure if you need a Privacy Impact Assessment . . . then this 30 minute webinar / podcast is for you! If you are a custodian--including physicians, optometrists, dentists, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, podiatrists, and more!--as defined by Alberta's Health Information Act, then you probably need a PIA. Jean L. Eaton, Your Practical Privacy Coach, will explain what a PIA is, why you need it, and how to start planning to prepare a PIA. A PIA is an important tool that you can use to help you with that project management. It will help you anticipate risks to the project before it starts and avoid serious problems, wasted time and money. The PIA process requires you to have written policies and procedures so that you can implement the project effectively and train your staff consistently. Sometimes, after you have completed a foundational PIA for your practice, you want to add a new tool, move or add a new clinic location, or change the way that you collect, use, or disclose health information. This may trigger a PIA amendment where you can build onto your original PIA submission. Sometimes a PIA is a requirement of legislation. But it is always a best practice whenever you implement a project that includes personal health information.

View the blog post and register to view the video. A PIA should be as common place to a healthcare practice as a business plan is to a business. BUT most healthcare practices don’t know this and often don’t know that a PIA is usually part of their professional college requirements and often even a legislated requirement! Prevent malicious errors, omissions or attacks that could result in fines and even jail time for the business, healthcare provider, employee, or vendor by completing a PIA. You need a Privacy Impact Assessment when: - You are opening a new clinic or establishing a new health services program You are changing administrative procedures or technology equipment, services, or vendors You are changing how you collect and use personal information You are implementing or changing an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) You are sharing health information with another healthcare provider, organization, Primary Care Network or other health program You have a Privacy Impact Assessment that was written more than 2 years ago? (It is time to review and update this!) Doing a Privacy Impact Assessment for your practice is easy – once you figure it out. I have helped hundreds of clients complete their Privacy Impact Assessment and visited hundreds of practices across Alberta. I’ve figured it out . . . so you don’t have to! Now I’m going to share with you what you need to know to plan your PIA. Brought to you by Jean L.
