HIPAA: Current Trends for Privacy and Security Requirements and What You Need to Know to Comply - 1 CE hour

Tuesday July 14, 2026 10:10am - 11:05am CDT

305

Objectives:

Participants will outline proposed changes to the HIPAA Security Rule to increase cybersecurity protections
Participants will describe specific changes to current HIPAA documentation that may be necessary, particularly for “Part 2” entities
Participants will preview potential future actions by the administration to enforce and further update HIPAA

Statement of need:
Any entity that deals with medical information must be aware of the evolving requirements of HIPAA privacy and security. This session will provide a current look at recently passed and soon-to-be implemented changes that will affect the way you handle information.

Abstract:
The vast majority of current HIPAA issues revolve around cybersecurity. Medical records continue to be one of the most sought-after targets of hackers and cyber criminals. The healthcare industry suffers more data breaches, and more costly breaches, than any other commercial sector. The HIPAA enforcement agency, HHS’ Office for Civil Rights, has recently published, and will likely soon finalize, revisions to the HIPAA Security Rule to add more specificity to the safeguards healthcare entities must take to protect patient information. Additionally, HHS has already made changes relating to “Part 2” entities that will require some revisions to long-established HIPAA forms. This session will provide information on which entities will need to change their HIPAA documentation and how. In addition, we will discuss the new cybersecurity rules and how they may impact the way you currently operate your business.

Purpose and Resiliency: Building Strong Minds and Soft Hearts - 1.5 CE hours

Tuesday July 14, 2026 12:50pm - 2:10pm CDT

305

Objectives:

Participants will learn to cultivate cognitive resilience and mental agility
Participants will foster emotional intelligence and self-compassion
Participants will understand nurture empathy, connection, and ethical living

Statement of Need:
Anti-Bullying campaigns have failed, we need to shift to teaching and training up kids to have strong minds and soft hearts.

Abstract:
Today’s teenagers face unprecedented academic pressure, social media comparison, and social anxieties, often leading to a focus solely on "grit" or mental toughness. While academic performance is important, it is often prioritized at the expense of emotional health and empathy. This presentation, "Building Strong Minds and Soft Hearts," argues that true success requires a balanced approach: developing Strong Minds (resilience, critical thinking, and mental endurance) alongside Soft Hearts (empathy, emotional regulation, and self-compassion).
