As a healthcare professional, I need to understand how Veterans Press can help me with HIPAA compliance. Specifically, where can I find customizable HIPAA policies, and what are the key considerations for reporting a ransomware attack to HHS? Also, what is the current edition status of 'The Compliance Guide to HIPAA and the DHHS Regulations'?
Navigate to the 'ABOUT US' page. Identify the primary resource for customizable HIPAA policies and procedures. Note the current edition status of 'The Compliance Guide to HIPAA and the DHHS Regulations'. Navigate to the 'BLOG' page. Locate and click on the blog post titled 'Is a Ransomware Attack Reportable to HHS?'. Extract the key consideration for reporting a ransomware attack to HHS. Synthesize all gathered information into a concise answer.
State that the 'HIPAA Documents Resource Center CD' is the primary resource for customizable HIPAA policies. Explain that a successful ransomware attack may be reportable as a breach if PHI was not secured/encrypted under NIST standards. State that 'The Compliance Guide to HIPAA and the DHHS Regulations' is 'soon to be in its’ 6th edition'.
