SRH Law attorney Eileen Elliott will speak at a webcast about recent changes to HIPAA rules. The webcast is on February 5, 2014 at 1:00 p.m on Health IT Security. To register, click here.
The changes to the HIPAA privacy and security rules that went into effect in September 2013 are still unfamiliar to a number of entities required to comply with HIPAA because they provide services that involve the use or disclosure of protected health information. All entities that deal with health information or with healthcare organizations need to assess their compliance status against these new rules and identify high risk areas for preventive action. Many times, these high risk areas involve social media and new technology. This webcast will discuss:
- Key provisions of the new rules
- Implications of the revised definition of breach
- What the new rule means for business associates and the organizations they serve
- The structure of enforcement and fines
- How technology can help and hurt HIPAA compliance
