HIPAA's New Proposed Rule
Product Description:
AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by Briefings on HIPAAPresented on Tuesday, August 31, 2010
The Office for Civil Rights has issued a proposed rule that contains significant changes to the privacy and security regulations. Covered entities must prepare for changes to the notice of privacy practices (NPP) and expanded patient rights to review their records and restrict access to them.
It’s also more important than ever for business associates to be in compliance as they can now be held directly financially responsible for breaches. This proposed rule requires business associates to ensure their subcontractors are in compliance as well. Additionally, covered entities are now more liable for ensuring their business associates comply with HIPAA.
During this 90-minute audio conference, our speakers will identify the key proposed changes and tell you how to prepare for the final rule.
At the end of the audio conference you will be able to:
- Describe the covered entities’ responsibilities related to business associates
- Identify actions business associates have to take with subcontractors
- Explain the business associates’ increased responsibilities
- Explain the business associates’ increased risk
- Define electronic media according to the new HIPAA proposed regulation
