The Paper Tiger Begins to Roar: HIPAA, the HITECH Act, and the Risks to Lawers and Their Clients - MP3 Download
Program Description
The HITECH Act, effective February 17, 2010, substantially enhanced civil penalties for HIPAA violations, added security breach notification requirements, and extended HIPAA's most important security to third parties who service HIPAA-covered entities, including law firms. With state attorneys general newly empowered to enforce HIPAA, lawyers and their clients in the health care industry or who sponsor HIPAA-covered, employee benefits plans should start preparing now, not just for a security breach but also for the government investigation that could follow. This presentation will address the following:
- General background/refresher on HIPAA's scope and key requirements
- HIPAA's enhanced penalties and new enforcement environment
- The HITECH Act's new security breach notification requirements
- Steps lawyers and their clients can take to comply and reduce the risk of a security breach
- How to respond when a security breach inevitably occurs.
- How to respond to a security incident involving protected health information and recent agency actions regarding the Security Breach Notification Regulations
