Click here to see the Table of Contents

Buy On Line   If you prefer to fax or mail your order, click here for an order form.

The HIPAA Security Rule: Compliance Resources for Home Care Agencies is similar in form to the manual that was used by hundreds of home care programs to help prepare for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

The Security Rule requires home care agencies to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic protected health information.  To do this, agencies will need to develop an infrastructure that provides for the administrative, physical and technical safeguards required by the Security Rule.  Even though the compliance deadline for the Security Rule is not until April 21, 2005, home care agencies need to begin their compliance preparations as soon as possible.

The HIPAA Security Rule: Compliance Resources for Home Care Agencies provides a step- by-step explanation of the Security Rule’s standards with sample policies and procedures, decision-making templates and checklists to help hospice programs comply with its requirements.  The purchase price includes a CD-ROM for easy customization.

Weatherbee Resources, Inc. is pleased to announce its partnership with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice to provide NAHC members with a 15% discount on the purchase price of The HIPAA Security Rule:  Compliance Resources for Home Care Agencies.
