HIPAA Privacy Officer

[alexa]

We are in the process of designating a Privacy Officer for HIPAA

What have others been doing?; i.e. who in your firm is the "designee"? We have

come to the conclusion that we may need to create a new position for this

We are an employer who sponsors a health plan; we are not a healthcare entity

Would anyone have a good job description for a Privacy Officer

Thanks
