Practical Privacy Officer Strategies

Most privacy officers also have other roles-as a clinic manager, healthcare provider, computer network technician, or business owner—and experience overwhelm when trying to balance these responsibilities each and every day.

But that's not the end of the problem. It actually gets worse!

You are missing the systems to monitor routine tasks that will protect privacy and alert you to potential problems before they become privacy and security incidents.

Bottom Line: If you are spinning your wheels trying to figure out how to get started, it will cost you time, money, and frustration!

Which means you never get around to implementing a robust privacy management program.

If you are a privacy officer in a healthcare practice who needs practical privacy management strategies to protect your patients and your healthcare business but can't figure out how to get started, here's the solution you've been looking for.
