15th Annual Year-End Review of Medical Privacy and Data Security Enforcement - Melamedia Webinar

Melamedia Webinar Examines the First 15 Years of HIPAA Enforcement with a Focus on What’s Coming Next

Healthcare faces substantially different opportunities and challenges as we all continually adapt to constantly changing health data stewardship capabilities.”
— Dennis Melamed, Editor, Health Information Privacy/Security Alert

ALEXANDRIA, VA, USA, November 8, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The world of health data privacy and security has evolved almost beyond recognition since OCR started to enforce HIPAA in April 2003. Healthcare faces substantially different opportunities and challenges as we all constantly adapt to new health data stewardship capabilities.

OCR also is no longer the only major regulator in the health and medical data arena.

Other regulators have taken on more important roles as the FTC and the FDA address the concerns raised by an increasingly networked and digital environment.

States also are flexing some of the regulatory muscle as California enacted a wide-ranging privacy regime and all 50 states now have breach notification laws.

So Melamedia's 15th Annual Year-End Review of Medical Privacy & Security Enforcement provides a unique opportunity to take a deep dive into the enforcement of health data privacy and security that puts today's regulatory and legal challenges into context. To know where we are going, it is useful to know where we’ve been after 15 years of OCR enforcement of HIPAA.

This annual webinar is a "must" for compliance officers, both new to and well-versed in HIPAA/HITECH as well as contractors and vendors seeking to do business with healthcare providers and insurers.

WHEN:
Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2018
1 pm - 2:30 pm Eastern Time
