HIPAA expectations are changing in 2026, and organizations need to keep up. This 60-minute HIPAA compliance webinar gives you a clear, step-by-step guide to what's changing, what OCR is prioritizing, and how to lower the risk of audits, breaches and enforcement actions.
You'll cover the mandatory Privacy Rule updates and why outdated Notices of Privacy Practices raise enforcement risk, HHS/OCR's focus on Right of Access and documentation, and how the proposed Security Rule changes set higher expectations for risk analysis, safeguards, incident response and ongoing monitoring.
You'll leave with practical steps you can apply right away to strengthen privacy, security and audit readiness.
