2017 - Webinar on Latest HIPAA Updates and the Omnibus Rule

Description:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) implemented a number of provisions of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, to strengthen the privacy and security protections for health information established under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The final Omnibus Rule is based on statutory changes under the HITECH Act.
The changes in the final rulemaking provide the public with increased protection and control of personal health information and more responsibilities for healthcare providers and business associates.
This seminar will cover those responsibilities and requirements along with recent HIPAA updates and guidance issued by OCR.
If your healthcare practice or business needs to understand the HIPAA Omnibus Rule requirements and make sure your HIPAA compliance program is adequate and can withstand a government audit or investigation, please join us for this informative and interactive seminar.
