DataMotion to Present Webinar on Reducing HIPAA Compliance Risk

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DataMotion™, an experienced email encryption and health information service provider (HISP), today announced the company will present an interactive webinar entitled "Tips for Using Encryption to Reduce HIPAA Compliance Risk and Protect Your Data." This free webinar will take place on Wednesday, June 24, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

For more than fifteen years, DataMotion has provided secure messaging solutions – including email encryption and Direct Secure Messaging – and has worked closely with healthcare providers, patients, business associates and clinical systems to ensure they remain compliant amidst evolving regulations, including HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and HITECH.

"Since the enactment of HIPAA nearly two decades ago, there have been numerous changes within the healthcare industry. The HIPAA Security Rule is flexible enough to adapt to the significant changes in the HIT environment but the healthcare industry is still struggling with the implementation of robust information security programs that protect patients' health data. There is a great deal of confusion regarding HIPAA compliance still after all these years," said Chris Apgar, renowned security and privacy expert and president and CEO of Apgar and Associates, LLC. "The upcoming webinar will clear up those misconceptions by providing an update on the 2015 HIPAA audits and by offering best practices for lowering your risk as it relates to electronic PHI."

Apgar will co-present the webinar with Andy Nieto, DataMotion's health IT strategist. Relevant details include:
