Modern HIPAA Compliance - Managing Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification in a World of New Technologies, New Threats, and New Rules

Day one sets the stage with an overview of the HIPAA regulations including HIPAA Breach Notification and the process that must be used to determine whether or not a breach is reportable, and then continues with presentation of the specifics of the Privacy Rule, recent changes to the rules, and the basics of the Security Rule.

Rules about Patient Rights and the limitations on uses and disclosures by covered entities will be explained, including recent guidance on access of PHI by individuals and sharing information with family and friends of a patient, and the latest rule changes for substance abuse information under 42 CFR Part 2. Discussion will include the impacts of the 21st Century Cures Act as well as the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and potential impacts of privacy concerns combined with immigration crackdowns on the accuracy and completeness of records on individuals who may fear deportation.
