Attend the only event designed specifically to provide you with best practices and practical solutions for responding to sweeping changes to HIPAA compliance requirements
Enacted in February of 2009, the HITECH Act is ushering in a new era of compliance obligations for any organization handling electronic health records. At press time, several new guidelines, including the much discussed HHS Health Security Breach Notification interim rule, have been released with more to come. Already, significant changes have been announced to the obligations of covered entities and in particular, business associates, by imposing new privacy and security requirements, providing for additional enforcement mechanisms, and making major changes to breach notification requirements. In addition, the recent FTC rule resulted in expanded regulation of entities not covered by HIPAA. And finally, new media notification rules add a potential public relations nightmare to an already complicated situation.
Walk away from this event with a plan in place for complying with new privacy requirements
With increased expansive penalties on the horizon, companies must prepare now for these new obligations. In response, American Conference Institute is proud to introduce its premiere installment of the essential forum for creating and revamping HIPAA compliance programs to effectively respond to new standards: HIPAA Compliance Congress: Data Protection and Privacy Compliance under the HITECH Act.
Benchmark your practices against leading healthcare companies
Our faculty of in-house professionals will provide you with the practical tips and strategies you need to update compliance programs to account for the new regulations. Hearing from companies who have already gone through this process or who are in the midst of the process themselves will provide you with the real-life examples you need to find solutions to your company’s challenges.
Obtain insights into policy and enforcement activities
At this conference, you will hear directly from HHS, FTC and state AGs to learn what new regulations are on the horizon and how they plan to enforce existing laws and regulations. Be better able to prevent penalties and enforcement actions by learning from the enforcers themselves what you should and should not be doing.
