Description:
Cybersecurity is more than just keeping your patients’ data safe. It’s about securing your practice and its future while building and maintaining your patients’ trust. The financial cost of an attack can be overwhelming. Furthermore, research suggests that 65% of individuals whose data is exposed in a breach lose trust in the organization that held that data and 80% of those individuals will leave the business or organization. Another important, and perhaps obvious, reason cybersecurity is essential for your dental practice is HIPAA compliance. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires that insurers, as well as dental and medical practices and providers, put measures in place to ensure the safety and security of personal and private information as it relates to healthcare data. In this course, you will understand what cybersecurity threats exist and what to do to protect your practice and patient data.
