Enforcement of health data protection laws will increase and get tougher. In fact, there is a very real risk that the criticism over current government approaches may generate a substantial and overzealous backlash. Breach notification and identity theft are high  on the political, regulatory and enforcement agendas. This module focuses on what you can and should do to protect your organization when someone in your organization makes a mistake or when your organization becomes a victim.

Responding To Government Investigations Of Medical Privacy And Security Breaches
HHS’s recent action against Providence Health is clearly a sign of tougher enforcement in health data security and privacy. This seminar spells out what you can do to prepare and minimize your exposure when state or federal government investigators visit.
Faculty: John Christiansen, Richard Meeks

Complying with New Health Data Breach Laws
Health data security and privacy issues have broadened well beyond HIPAA as California expanded its breach notification law to include personal health data. This seminar provides you with information on what policies and procedures you should consider in response to breaches as well as new directives for your vendors and Business Associates.
Faculty: Chris Apgar and John Christiansen

Confronting The Threats of Medical Identity Theft
Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Winn leads this faculty in discussing how and where federal and state prosecutors are taking steps to combat medical identity theft; the steps healthcare should consider to combat medical ID theft; the different forms that medical identity theft takes; and why medical identity theft poses financial risks for healthcare organizations that fail to take action.
Faculty: Peter Winn and Gail Sausser

Protecting Patient Data at the Front Door:  Vetting Prospective Employees for HIPAA and Other Data Protection Laws
Ongoing media reports over security breaches and employee snooping have put a premium on knowing your employees. The issue is becoming more important as states increasingly are imposing new requirements such as background checks on potential employees of long-term care facilities. This seminar features a hands-on faculty providing practical advice on what you can and cannot do in  evaluating applicants for positions that grant access to medical and health data.
Faculty: John Parmigiani, Barry Nadell and Christopher Berner
