Purdue University Global Cyber Security Discussion

I’m working on a cyber security discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Topic 1:

Discuss the consequences of failing an Audit. Specifically discuss the consequences of failing a HIPAA audit looking at it through the perspective of a hospital, pharmacy, physician’s private practice office, an urgent care facility, or a medical lab.

Topic 2:

Discuss the difference between HIPAA and HITECH and how these two regulations are related.
