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.
