In mid-August the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued final rules for breaches of unsecured PHI as part of the HITECH portion of ARRA. These rules take effect in September and significantly change the face of HIPAA privacy and security. In this session, we provide a full overview of these requirements and a compliance checklist. Topics will include:
- Implications of the new rules and how they apply to covered entities and business associates
- Review of similar rules issued by the Federal Trade Commission for non-covered entities
- Detailed explanation of the breach disclosure process
- Other HIPAA-related updates, including regulations under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
