Managing Patient Privacy & Confidentiality
We've redesigned our HIPAA workshop: Day One will provide an overview of the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules and Day Two goes beyond the HIPAA basics to focus on patient privacy and data confidentiality issues that health care providers face every day.
Day One: HIPAA Basics for Health Centers
Devoted to the fundamentals of HIPAA compliance in the health center setting, the first day will begin with an overview of the HIPAA rules and regulations, followed by an an introduction to business associates, including details on appropriately identifying your health center’s business associates and developing business associate agreements. Finally, FTLF attorneys will lead discussions on the role of the Privacy Officer and Security Officer, creating a HIPAA work plan, and tips on developing a more robust HIPAA compliance program.
Session topics will include:
- Overview of the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules
- Identification of business associates and developing/reviewing business associate agreements
- Sample HIPAA work plan activities, including suggested policy and procedure reviews, training topics and areas for internal monitoring and auditing
HIPAA Basics is perfect for new HIPAA Privacy and Security Officers, Compliance Officers, operations, administrator, office staff and those looking for an introduction to, and understanding of, or a refresher around the basics of HIPAA.
Day Two: Privacy and Confidentiality Concepts and 42 C.F.R. Part 2
Health care providers often feel pressured to respond when patients, employees, law enforcement, and others are asking for patient information. Building on the HIPAA basics from Day One, Day Two of this workshop will examine the issues presented, identify the relevant federal laws and regulations and recommend best practices for maintaining compliance and managing risk in your health center. Attendees should expect lively conversation based on relevant case studies and real-life examples.
Session topics will include:
- Addressing social media risks and the use of mobile devices in health centers
