HIPAA Without the Headache: What Dental Offices Get Wrong (and How to Fix It) (Webinar)
1 CEU, Core • Member Price: $45 early (ends 3/17)
Registration cost details: $45 early (ends 3/17) / $70 regular (begins 3/18) / Non-Member Price: $140
HIPAA compliance isn’t just about policies in a dusty binder: it’s about real-world risks, real penalties, and real patients trusting your practice every day.
In this no-fluff, straight-talk webinar, Sara Baker and Dennis Krohn Jr. pull back the curtain on what HIPAA actually means for dental offices today. From everyday compliance blind spots to cybersecurity mistakes that trigger Office for Civil Rights investigations, this course breaks down what dental practices get wrong… and how to fix it before it becomes a problem.
You’ll explore how HIPAA intersects with modern dental workflows, technology, remote access, and staff behavior, and why “we’ve always done it this way” is one of the biggest compliance risks of all. Expect practical examples, real enforcement insights, and actionable guidance you can apply immediately, without falling asleep or drowning in legal jargon.
Whether you’re a practice owner, office manager, or part of the dental support team, this webinar will help you reduce risk, protect patient data, and build a culture of compliance that actually works in the real world.
Learning Objectives:

Identify the most common HIPAA compliance and cybersecurity failures in dental offices and understand why they lead to investigations, breaches, and penalties.
Evaluate how everyday technology use, staff behavior, and workflows impact HIPAA compliance, revealing hidden risks most practices overlook.
Apply practical, real-world strategies to reduce risk, strengthen security, and build a sustainable culture of HIPAA compliance within dental practice.

2026-08-05 18:00 - 18:45 | SDDS Classroom, 2035 Hurley Way, Suite 200, Sacramento, CA, 95825
The August CPR Course will be an AHA blended learning course.
Blended learning is a combination of eLearning (online portion), in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner, followed by a hands-on session.
There are three potential time slots for the skills test session on that day. When signing up you’ll select your preference (note that we will do our best to accommodate your preference, but sessions may fill up).
Here is how an AHA Blended Learning Course works:
Step 1 – Register for the BLS/CPR providers course with SDDS (via online registration, PDF form, or phone).

You will receive an email from SDDS with a link to AHA to sign up and pay for the online course.

Step 2 – Complete the HeartCode BLS Online course

Written examination is part of the online course – 84% to pass
Print up a copy of your HeartCode BLS Online Course Completion Certificate (bring this copy to the skills test)

Step 3 – Attend the IN-PERSON Skills practice session and skills test at the SDDS Office.
Step 4 – Your American Heart Association BLS (CPR) card will be issued to you digitally via email. Physical cards are no longer issued.
All this for the price of $98; $37 of it (paid by you directly) for the online course and the other $61 (paid to SDDS) for the skills portion – 3 units of CE included.
