Melamedia's
4th Annual Review of Medical Privacy & Security Enforcement
(Dec. 13, 2007)
Seminar examines outlook
for stricter enforcement, implications for secondary uses of data, EHRs
National and regional efforts to increase
the use of electronic health records are intensifying concerns over patient
confidentiality and conflicting legal and regulatory requirements. Experts
agree that HIPAA is not now capable of addressing all the issues raised
by electronic health records (EHRs).
There are also inklings that medical privacy
and data security enforcement will be escalating. Even now, enforcement
is moving well beyond the statutory limits of HIPAA to address secondary
uses of protected health information.
The risks have become so great that publicly
traded companies are increasingly listing HIPAA and medical privacy rules
as significant potential risks in their SEC filings.
To help healthcare understand this evolving
enforcement environment and learn where the risks are arising, Melamedia's
Health Information Privacy/Security Alert is sponsoring
The 4rd Annual Year-End Review of Medical
