The government is serious about enforcing Privacy and Security regulations. In addition to potential HIPAA audits, any provider who receives an electronic health record (EHR) incentive payment for either the Medicare EHR Incentive Program or the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program may be subject to a Meaningful Use (MU) audit. In fact, each year, at least 1 in 5 eligible hospitals will be audited for Meaningful Use.
