As a pharmacist, the most-important thing you need to know about HIPAA is that HIPAA compliance likely is not the most-pressing issue facing your pharmacy practice. While HIPAA compliance is certainly important (and, indeed, necessary), most pharmacies' greatest risks lie in the areas of DEA and federal healthcare program compliance. While we can assess your pharmacy's current patient privacy and recordkeeping practices, it will likely be most beneficial for us to devote the majority of our efforts to other areas.
