re: Hippa audit
According to the DHHS website, “Audits conducted during the pilot phase will begin November 2011 and conclude by December 2012.” The first round of 20 audits is expected to take about five months. Up to 130 other audits will follow, in the final eight months of this pilot program.
Each audit is supposed to take about 30 business days and will include onsite interviews and investigations. Covered entities will have 10 days to turn around document requests, such as for copies of policies, security incident reports, training records, and the like. http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/enforcement/audit/index.html
