Last year saw a considerable amount of reinforcement efforts and resolution agreements from the Health and Human Services branch of HIPAA, as well as further compliance monitoring from OCR. This usually happens after a breach report is submitted, and 2016 saw its share. There was also a trend in higher settlements, though amount of affected parties wasn’t the cause. The bottom line is that compliance requirements are becoming stricter and more thoroughly regulated, and 2017 is likely going to see some changes with a new OCR administration coming on board.
