This CLE course will guide healthcare counsel through a host of changes to health information privacy laws and their enforcement. The panel will discuss how these changes potentially will impact healthcare providers and others in the healthcare industry.

Description

Never before has the health care sector seen so many changes to health information privacy laws. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is seeking to finalize a January 2021 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend the HIPAA Privacy Rule, propose additional changes to the HIPAA Privacy Rule to safeguard reproductive health information, and amend regulations governing the confidentiality of substance use disorder patient records to more closely align with HIPAA. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has expanded the scope of its Health Breach Notification Rule to apply to almost all health and wellness applications that fall outside of HIPAA. States are enacting comprehensive privacy laws with complex interactions to existing health information laws. And HHS, FTC, and private litigants have all turned their focus towards the disclosure of website visitor information from health care entities to third parties.

Whether subject to or exempt from HIPAA, healthcare entities and others who handle health information need to stay on top of this changing legal landscape to understand their obligations and risks.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines these changes to health information privacy and enforcement. The panel will discuss what these changes may mean for healthcare providers and others in the healthcare industry.
