CMS published last week the third white paper in its HIPAA security series. This paper touches on physical safeguards required by the HIPAA security rule.
The objectives of the white paper include the following:
- To review each physical safeguard and implementation specification listed in the security rule
- To discuss physical vulnerabilities and provide examples of physical controls that a covered entity (CE) could implement
- To provide sample questions CEs may want to consider when implementing physical safeguards
The paper also provides resources for CEs such as the CMS HIPAA Web site. The next paper in the series will cover technical safeguards under the security rule.
