Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) Webcast: New Risks and Liabilities in the Electronic Age: What Companies that Provide Health Care Need to Know

Joining them on the panel is Ken Mortensen, Vice President, Assistant General Counsel & Chief Privacy Officer at CVS Caremark Corporation, and former CPO at the Department of Justice.

Privacy enforcement is at an all time high and enforcement actions and class action litigation can result from a failure to comply with the numerous privacy and information security requirements. Also, the new changes due to recent amendments to HIPAA are formidable. Come hear this panel of experts discuss the recent changes due to HITECH, and how they will impact your company, as well as issues such as data security, employee monitoring and behavioral advertising. Recent enforcement actions, and recent trends will all be discussed, as will the challenges presented by the new push towards interoperable Electronic Health Records. Specific topics include:

• Recent theories and tactics used by the FTC and OCR in prosecuting violations of data privacy laws;
• How the HITECH Act and new HITECH regulations affect business associates, subcontractors and companies which offer self-insured employer plans;
• New developments in the areas of employee monitoring and behavioral advertising.
