We initially heard about this from one of our partner HIPAA consultants, whom heard it in a HIPAA CE session. We then heard the same info from another HIPAA consultant involved with HHS OCR audits. Recently we heard it from a HIPAA law firm. No confirmation from the OCR though, so it’s worth the “ink” with which it’s written. 🙂 But, with audit submissions now required to be electronic the electronic auditing will soon follow, then it’s just how they will automate the auditing.
