New Tougher HIPAA Rules: How to Meet Compliance Regulations Under the Economic Stimulus Package Webcast on CD-ROM
Managed Care Information Center, May 2009, Minutes: 60
The most significant changes to the HIPAA privacy law since its inception was signed into law by President Obama as part of the new stimulus package approved by both houses of Congress.
All covered entities will be affected by the HIPAA provisions included in the economic American Recover and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
The HIPAA Privacy Rule protects all 'individually identifiable health information' held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral. The Privacy Rule calls this information “protected health information” (PHI).
These new provisions under ARRA include:
- Stronger enforcement of HIPAA
- Harsher monetary penalties for privacy and security violations
- Newly expanded notification requirements
- Expansion of the main provisions of HIPAA privacy and security rules to apply directly to business associates of covered entities
- And, new requirements for accounting for PHI disclosures.
This program has been organized to keep your organization up-to-date on the significant HIPAA changes that have taken effect. During this webcast you will learn the new provisions for HIPAA in the stimulus package and how to stay compliant and reduce your organization’s risk for penalties and audits.
