These new requirements, and additional changes to HIPPAA deemed appropriate by HHS, are set forth in a 563-page omnibus Final Rule published by HHS on January 25, 2013. The changes in the Final Rule are far-reaching and significantly strengthen privacy protections for patient health information, while enhancing HHS’ ability to enforce these protections. Join us for a Web conference discussing the Final Rule and how to prepare for it.
During this Web conference, we will cover:
- The changes made by the Final Rule, including the expansion of the definition of “business associate” to include subcontractors and other parties not previously covered
- Changes in the risk analysis for breaches that will likely require breach notification more frequently
- Practical tips for how to implement the changes in an efficient and cost-effective way
- How covered entities can minimize their potential liability for the breaches or other violations of their business associations
