Revisions to HIPAA: Modifications to the Privacy Act

1h 1m

Created on December 01, 2015

Intermediate

Overview

A growing number of security breaches have led to stricter regulations on health information, as it can be particularly valuable to hackers and is therefore a prime target. This is a risk that is shared by all, from large drug chains to small independent pharmacies. In addition to being aware of cybersecurity threats, pharmacies must also be cognizant of complex regulations, such as HIPAA and HITECH. In this course, Wilentz’s Angelo Cifaldi and Satish Poondi discuss the stringent requirements on how patient health information should be treated as imposed by these regulations.

I.     Identify recent changes to HIPAA enforcement
