and AIS's HIPAA
Compliance Center |
There is a new HIPAA sheriff in town. The mammoth economic stimulus legislation signed by President Obama on Feb. 17 contains the most significant changes to federal health care privacy and security law since the enactment of HIPAA. The Obama Administration pledged stronger privacy enforcement and “put its money where its mouth is” by funding stronger enforcement, setting far stiffer penalties for noncompliance, and tightening a number of HIPAA compliance provisions, with:
- New requirements related to “covered entities” and “business associates,”
- A strong new federal security breach notification law,
- New guidance for satisfying the “minimum necessary” standard,
- Tighter rules on when PHI can be used for marketing purposes,
- New rules for fundraising communications,
- New measures for accounting for PHI disclosures in EHRs,
- Stiffer penalties for noncompliance ... and heightened federal enforcement
And Report on Patient Privacy and AIS’s HIPAA Compliance Center will provide you with ongoing coverage of all the new privacy and security measures.This highly practical print and Web-based service will help your organization safeguard patient privacy and data security ... and reduce your chances of fines and penalties, private lawsuits and public relations nightmares.
