Word Smithey Announces First Nonfiction Title:
HIPAA Compliance for Small Medical Practices
A Step-by-Step Guide Without Legalese or Tech Jargon
St. Petersburg, FL — May 23, 2025 — Word Smithey, an independent publisher committed to works of lasting value, has released its first nonfiction title: HIPAA Compliance for Small Medical Practices by Ryan D. McNair, CISSP, CHPSE.
This book provides small medical practices with a clear, actionable guide to HIPAA compliance. It is free from the legal and technical jargon common in industry resources. Designed specifically for solo providers and small teams, it includes practical explanations, step-by-step guidance, and a full toolkit of editable compliance form templates.
“Small practices do not have legal departments or IT teams. They need practical tools, not legal theories and tech jargon,” said McNair. “Their real question is, ‘what do I actually have to do to be compliant?’ This book was built from the ground up specifically to answer that question.”
What’s Inside:
HIPAA fundamentals explained in plain language
Templates for breach response, training logs, and more
Practical examples of common compliance failures and how to avoid them
A companion toolkit available for free with no paywall
The book is available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon. The complete resource toolkit is hosted at www.wordsmithey.com/hipaa.
“We are proud to bring this project to life as our first nonfiction release,” said a spokesperson for Word Smithey. “It reflects the kind of publishing we stand for. Purposeful, enlightening, and built to last.”
