This session explains the fundamentals of data backup and disaster recovery for dental practices, with a focus on meeting HIPAA requirements and safeguarding patient information. It outlines what data should be backed up, how frequently backups should occur, and the differences between onsite, offsite, and cloud-based solutions. The session also covers what to expect during data recovery and how to ensure business continuity in the event of a disruption. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Outline the compliance standards for protecting electronic PHI through encryption and off-site storage.
  • Evaluate the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) needed to restore clinical operations after a system failure.
  • Establish a verification schedule to confirm that backups are functional and ready for immediate deployment.

When your systems go down, your practice shouldn’t—master HIPAA-smart backups and rapid recovery strategies that keep you up, running, and protected.

Who This Webinar Is For:
Practice owners, dentists, office managers, and team members responsible for protecting patient data, managing risk, and ensuring the practice never skips a beat when technology fails
