More details about the HIPAA Audit Program emerged as KPMG wins contract to perform audits, as reported by Howard Anderson, Executive Editor, HealthcareInfoSecurity.com in his article titled “HIPAA Audit Program Details Emerge.”

The chances of your healthcare organization being audited by KPGM may sound small or unlikely because they are only expecting about only 150 audits to be completed by the end of 2012.  Just think for a second- what if your organization was one of the 150 selected- are you prepared to pass the HIPAA Audit Program?  If not, are you prepared to face possible fines or run the risk of being made an example to other healthcare organizations?
