The course will cover: 1) the proposed HIPAA regulations published December 2020, the changes and what this means in practicality; 2) OCR's multiple enforcement actions against providers for failure to provide patients with required access to records; 3) OCR's audit report on healthcare industry compliance with HIPAA; 4) the current status of HIPAA non-enforcement and ability to provide telemedicine, and what to expect; 5) the interplay between information blocking regulations and HIPAA requirements; 6) OCR guidance on HIPAA and health information exchanges, and 7)collaboration by providers and others to data share (including Google and U-Chicago) and legal/HIPAA challenges to these initiatives. 

This program will benefit healthcare attorneys and privacy law attorneys advising healthcare providers and entities.
