Frank Ruelas (francisco.ruelas@dignityhealth.org) is a Facility Compliance Professional with Dignity Health in Phoenix.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) lists an addressable implementation specification at 45 CFR 164.308(a)(5)(ii)(A) — the use of security reminders. To assist HIPAA compliance professionals in meeting this requirement, I am offering monthly Security Awareness Suggestions (SAS) that people can essentially cut, paste, and modify for use within their respective organizations. Feel free to use these in promoting compliance with HIPAA and to meet this regulatory requirement.
