Episode description

OCR recently released another memo concerning compliance enforcement efforts.  They say effective August 2016, they have started an initiative to more widely investigate breaches involving under 500 patients.  That means that OCR small breach investigations will begin happening immediately.  In the past, the policy had been to investigate all breaches over 500 patients but not under.
