Dentists Must Comply with HIPAA or Face Hefty Fines
By Greg Polakoff and Wayne
Polakoff
The Health Information
Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
regulates the security and
privacy of patient medical
records stored by dentists.
HIPAA Title II requires
healthcare organizations, such
as dental practices, to carry
out secure electronic access
to healthcare data and to
remain in compliance with
privacy regulations which
are administered by the U.S.
Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS). Dental
practices which are found to be
out of compliance face fines up
to $100,000.
Staying updated is
mandated by HIPAA
Just what is involved in
HIPAA compliance? First and
foremost, all your patients
personal health information
(PHI) must be stored
electronically, and that electronic
storage must be secure. Spyware
and virus protection has to
be part of the equation here.
With the rise of sophisticated
hacking schemes, keeping your
computer Operating System
(OS) and software up to date is
imperative. Not only is it wise
to update your systems, if you
are caught by HHS with an
outdated OS or old software,
you will be out of HIPAA
compliance and could face a
fine. The solution to this is to
have an audit of your complete
computer system performed.
Backing up
electronic PHI
The second factor in
HIPAA laws concern the
backing up of your computer
systems. HIPAA now requires
that you back up your system
8 IndyDentalSociety.org Fall 2017
Advertisement
in two places: on site and off
site. Here is the kicker - those
backups must be encrypted so
that none of the stored PHI
can be read during the transfer
without a password. Gone are
the days of backing up to an
external hard drive and putting
the drive in the back of your
car. You need to back up your
system to an off-site cloud server
to remain HIPAA compliant.
HIPAA
regulatory changes
A good off-site server can
do more than just provide a
backup of your system. The
backup can be audited for
HIPAA compliance, especially
when the rules change, which
happens more often than you
might imagine. Just as your staff
undergoes ongoing training in
HIPAA compliance, so should
your computer system. An
initial audit of your computer
system does not mean you
will remain HIPAA compliant
forever. As stated in the HHS.
gov website: A covered entity
must perform a periodic
assessment of how well its
security policies and procedures
meet the requirements of the
Security Rule.1 A regular
security audit is essential to
ensure your OS is always
in compliance. As a federal
bureaucracy, HHS is very good
at making new regulations, but
poor at informing dentists of
the changes. A good practice
is to have your system audited
for these new regulations on a
regular basis.
Beyond HIPAA
There is a secondary
benefit of an off-site back up
server. If your on-site system
would happen to go down,
with the proper service, you
can keep your business running
from the off-site server. Smart
dentists are taking advantage of
IT services that provide 24/7
monitoring and live help desk
technicians. Think of the chaos
that would happen if your
on-site computers crashed in
the middle of the day. Clients
would be filing into your front
doors only to be told they would
have to reschedule and turned
away and you wouldnt have

 REDISTRICTING:
Changing Organized Dentistrys Governing Structure
An Important Message to IDDS Members
By Dr. Jason Flannagan
The Taskforce on Statewide
Redistricting was charged by
the IDA to review our current
organizational structure to
see what problems exist, and
present a plan to address them.
The Taskforce determined that
there are 3 MAIN concerns.
These 3 are: 1) the need for
fairer distribution of IDA
delegate representation, 2)
the nomination and election
process of IDA leadership, and
3) the size of our IDA Board of
Trustees.
The Taskforce proposes
that the IDA leadership be
represented by 7 Regions of
the state in a rotation that
will promote a mentoring and
grooming process of our next
leaders. A Region will know at
Dr. Doug least 6 years in advance when an
Spaulding, IDDS IDA leader is to be elected from

Adds a new layer of

16 IndyDentalSociety.org Fall 2017 DATELINE Fall 2017
used only for election/
representation purposes. This
new layer will not have dues,
will not have events, and will
not need staff.
The nominations and
elections of the Regional
Trustees, IDA Delegates
and IDA leadership will be
orchestrated by the IDA staff.
The Regional Trustees will
take a more active role in
expressing views of multiple
components.
The HOD will be made up of
Delegates who will be elected
within a Region, and will be
from multiple components
within that Region.
This proposal makes
NO CHANGE to our current
components with regards
to social activities, CE
opportunities or charitable
actions. What it does do,
is redistribute the IDA
Delegate representation and
how Delegates are elected. It
outlines a transparent roadmap
for the election process for our
IDA leadership, via a rotation
that allows for leaders from
all over the state. It reduces
the size of our IDA Board of
Trustees, making the board more
functional, more transitional,
and puts even more importance
on our Trustee positions.
Individual components
will lose their Trustee.
Components within a
Region will elect a Trustee
to represent more than one
component.
