Next, the HIPAA Audit Protocol Checklist is an Excel document that consists of a chart with the information that HHS will look for when they conduct an audit. They have taken this information from HHS and have put it into an easy-to-use and organized format, where you can filter, search, and adjust the list as necessary. You can add your notes to it as well.
