Basics of Health Information Privacy Compliance – Updates for 2024
Description
The Problem Addressed by this Webinar
In 2024 the Basics of Health Information Privacy Compliance will not just be about HIPAA and OCR investigations anymore. HIPAA still applies nationwide to HIPAA-regulated entities – Health Care Providers, Health Plans, and Business Associates. But now there are new, active, and aggressive enforcers protecting the privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information: They are:
- The Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
- Private Class Action Lawsuits
- State Regulators including Attorneys General
They are using new or revised laws, new strategies, and in some cases enforcing existing laws in a new way.
Learning Points
- Threats – Increased Health Information Breaches by criminals
- The New Enforcers – public and private supplementing OCR
- New laws already in place
- New Laws in 2024 including HIPAA Privacy Rule modifications
- Strategies to protect your organization in this new environment
This webinar focuses on 2024 – the sudden health information privacy challenges and enforcement changes you must prepare to navigate.
