Yes. The reason is that, as a Covered Entity (CE), a Risk Assessment and Gap Analysis are requirements in order for you to establish industry standard practices. While these don't have to be lengthy and formal, you really do have to do them if you're trying for HIPAA compliance as a CE. Once you have your Gap Analaysis (and it can even be a legal pad with a list of places where you don't comply), you need a written set of rules that will correct the gaps. This, either formally or de facto, becomes your Privacy Policies. If you need a set of Privacy Policies, I believe the American Hospital Association (AHA) has one.

Public employees' expectations of privacy in their offices, desks, and file cabinets…may be reduced by virtue of actual office practices and procedures, or by legitimate regulation. (O'Connor v.

A medical office administrative assistant career is a good fit for those interested in working in an office, helping others, variety, and challenges. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 527,600 medical assistants in 2010 and it will increase 31% by 2020. Medical office administrative assistants are employed in organizations, such as Physician, podiatrist, or chiropractor offices and Healthcare facilities Medical businesses need employees to perform administrative and clinical tasks. Since medical assistants often work in the front office, they are the first impression patients make of the practice. Therefore, employers value employees with strong people skills. As physicians need people to handle the front office so they can spend more time with patients, it is no surprise that the medical assistant field is growing faster than average.
