Medical Identity Theft: A Virtual Meeting

September 8, 2008 at 1:00 PM (CST)

 

Medical identity theft (MIT) is costly and destructive, destroying both lives and financial stability, and it's up to health information professionals to combat it. At this, AHIMA's first Virtual Meeting, we'll define the issue of MIT; identify its various forms; discuss those involved in and most affected by it—including stakeholders, perpetrators, and victims; and offer tips on prevention, detection, and responses to this growing problem.

 

Benefits to Participants:

 

  • Understand the differences between identity theft and medical identity theft
  • Learn how to fortify your organization's practices to address gaps in security
  • Identify a proactive mitigation process to immediately implement if theft occurs
  • Develop steps your organization can take to support MIT victims

 

Virtual meetings provide you with up-to-date information in a convenient and highly interactive online format. Make plans to join us on September 8 for the inaugural launch of this exciting new way of bringing the latest in health information management (HIM) education and thinking to you!
