Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we explain why shared admin accounts are a security concern under HIPAA and what you can do about it. 

We discuss:

• Why shared accounts are a no-no, and why it’s such a common practice

• The HIPAA standards that are impacted by this practice

• The internal and external risks of sharing admin accounts

• The why and what of role-based access control
