On January 17, 2013, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Office of Civil Rights (OCR) issued its long-awaited final rule, entitled Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Enforcement and Breach Notification Rules Under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act; Other Modifications to the HIPAA Rules. This rule is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on January 25, 2013, and becomes effective on March 26, 2013. Compliance is required by September 23, 2013.
The final rule has a significant effect on business associates and their subcontractors, particularly with respect to liability for disclosure violations. Limitations on disclosure of protected health information for marketing and fundraising purposes are also included. This Webinar will focus on the major changes contained in the new rule and on what changes providers will need to make to their business associate agreements, notice of privacy practices and disclosure policies and procedures in general.
Objectives:
Participants will learn how business associates are defined under the new rule, and what direct liability business associates and their subcontractors now have for violations of the Security and Privacy Rules.
Participants will learn how and why their business associate agreements and notices of privacy practices need to change.
Participants will learn about other changes affecting marketing and fundraising, individual rights and enforcement that are contained in the new rule.
