HIPAA Security Rule - Physical Section

The Administrative section of the HIPAA security Rule covers administrative issues, including user authorization, passwords, and other policies. The Physical section covers items related to your physical buildings, computer hardware etc. Some of the tasks are redundant between the two sections.

There are several items under this section which we will explore over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, do you have your security officer named? Have you evaluated what must be done to comply with the Administrative Section? How many days are left before April 20th?
