Steps in the Event of Breach

What should you do if you suspect a breach of information?

The AAFP and Gates, Moore & Company offer a simple diagram to help you through the process. For information on how to determine the level of risk, North Carolina Healthcare Information and Communication Alliance (NCHICA) (12-page PDF file; About PDFs) offers a helpful tool in a PDF format.

For additional resources, the AAFP offers manuals on HITECH and other HIPAA isues.
