Meet Rick Giurlando – Your HIPAA Compliance Officer.

HIPAA Compliance Officer Job Description

Below, I’ve listed the key responsibilities I’m expected to maintain.

• To routinely monitor state and federal HIPAA regulations. And, as new regulatory requirements are introduced, to proactively modify an organization’s HIPAA Compliance Program and accommodate all changes.
• To implement changes to an organization’s compliance program as required, and communicate them to all departments. A HIPAA Compliance Officer maintains a current working knowledge of applicable regulatory guidelines, and must act as a resource for compliance concerns raised throughout the organization. They must coordinate with the appropriate departments to design and analyze the impact of any process changes required by HIPAA regulations.
• To demonstrate a thorough knowledge of applicable privacy and security solutions to develop a comprehensive HIPAA Compliance Program. The HIPAA Compliance Officer monitors and documents progress towards the successful and timely implementation of an organization’s compliance program.
• To create a system to monitor the status of an organization’s HIPAA compliance, set priorities for the compliance program, and review the documented status of prior implementations in affected departments.
• To develop training materials and courses to help employees understand new HIPAA regulations and how they will impact their organizational duties.
