HIPAA Documents Available at Site by Ohio Hospital Assn.

** HIPAAlive! From Phoenix Health Systems/HIPAAdvisory.com **

The following Ohio Hospital Association site may be helpful with HIPAA compliance and is free:

ANNOUNCEMENT: Bricker and Eckler represents the Ohio Hospital Assn. The particular link below is for their tab "Regulations by Topic". There, each regulation section you click on (e.g 512 b looking for information about Death Notice) is followed immediately by the preamble discussions of that section. This saves you from having to flip back and forth from HIPAA regulation to preamble. And you can do a “text search” or “find”. It may sound hard to use, but it isn't. Visit this site at:
