2012-12-14
Why Should You Attend: Healthcare providers are confused and worried by the delay in guidance from the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) about HITECH compliance. The effective date of the HITECH Act was February 17, 2010. Heavy monetary penalties mandated by HITECH are being levied and HITECH Compliance Audits are underway. However, HHS has issued only a Breach Notification Interim Final Rule, an Enforcement Interim Final Rule and proposed HITECH modifications to the Privacy, Security, and Enforcement Rules and a separate HITECH proposed modification regarding Accounting for Disclosures under the Privacy Rule.
This presentation will cover the HITECH interim rules, proposed rules and HHS Audit Protocols to provide guidance on what healthcare providers should be doing now to comply with HITECH and be prepared for future. Areas Covered in the Webinar: - Breach Notification Interim Final Rule
- Enforcement Interim Final Rule
- HITECH and the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules
- Business Associate Responsibilities and Contracts
- Marketing and “remuneration”
- HIPAA/HITECH Policies and Procedures
Who will Benefit: This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all healthcare providers and business associates. The individuals who will benefit include: - Healthcare Provider Privacy and Security Officials
- Small Healthcare Provider Practice Managers
- CEOs and Privacy and Security Officials of Healthcare Business Associates
