HHS’s proposal on accounting for patient data disclosures represents a continuing effort to provide people with more rights to their medical information. At the same time, the expansion of those rights is likely to affect more than simply the audit and monitoring programs that covered entities must maintain – to the extent they maintain them at all.

To help healthcare compliance officers and senior management understand the short and long-term implications of the HHS proposal, Melamedia, LLC, publisher of Health Information Privacy/Security Alert is producing a 90-minute webinar:
