title: What to do before the office for civil rights comes knocking: Part II. Coping with breaches, enforcement, and other fallout of HIPAA: the significance of harm.
abstract: Physicians and their lawyers must review business associates that are subject to HIPAA and must revisit their HIPAA privacy and security efforts to comply with the new rules. In particular, they must: (1) review and revise their HIPAA privacy and security notices, policies, administrative materials, and training manuals; (2) review, negotiate, and revise their business associate agreements; and (3) train any employees who have access to PHI with respect to the changes to HIPAA's rules as a result of ARRA.
