New! HIPAA Compliance for Web Sites and Tracking Technologies, Social Media, and Patient Reviews

The Internet is flooded with highly visible HIPAA violations committed unknowingly by healthcare providers. Now, OCR and the FTC say invisible website tracking technologies like Meta Pixel and Google Analytics violate patient privacy rights protected by HIPAA, the Federal Trade Commission Act, and the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule. These serious, dangerous violations are caused by routine strategies to attract and engage patients promoted by website developers and healthcare marketing consultants.

Both highly visible and invisible tracking tech violations expose Health Care Providers to liability and patients to dangers ranging from medical identity theft to harassment. Even “invisible” online tracking technologies can be found easily by downloadable software applications that put Health Care Providers in the cross-hairs. However, some simple HIPAA compliance steps enable providers to engage patients effectively on the Internet and avoid these dangerous risks.
