Customer Reviews

Lucid. Comprehensive.

Lucid and comprehensive is my first thougt on this book. It definitely deserves a look. Has a valuable overview of the HIPAA compliance and clearly explains things that need to be done. Helpful for beginner as well. It serves a great purpose as a reference book with lots of information.

HIPAA language made easy

I began learning about HIPAA by reading the legislation directly from the Federal Register. Yikes, talk about brain melt. This book boils down the legal jargon into language that actually makes sense. In addition, it defines key steps that one should follow in order to bring their organization into compliance. (I suppose that's why its called Getting Started With HIPAA!) I would definately recommend this book.

Required reading for all health care and IT professionals

This is an easy-to-read, yet comprehensive text that covers all the major sections of the HIPAA Administrative Simplification Title. It includes excellent information on the final Security Rule and features many templates, scenarios and examples. Required reading for all IT, especially security as well as health care professionals.

It's a great book!

The HIPAA text identifies various solution options for addressing HIPAA transactions, privacy and security requirements. The templates included provide specific details for the end solution. The text is also based on the final versions of these Rules. In summary, the text delivers an excellent, comprehensive overview with substance and solutions for HIPAA's Administrative Simplification requirements.
