Overview: We will discuss how providers and patients want to use social media for communications and how they may cause privacy and security issues. In order to integrate the use of social networking into patient communications, it is essential to perform the proper steps in an information privacy and security compliance process to evaluate and address the risks of using the technology. The process must include consideration of various patient access requirements in the HIPAA Privacy Rule, including new requirements to provide patients electronic access of electronically held PHI which raise new questions of how that access will be provided and how the information will be protected during and after access. And there has long been a HIPAA requirement for covered entities to do their best to meet the requests of their patients for particular modes of communication, and using social networking is no exception. We will review policies and procedures, documentation, major compliance areas and training to ensure they are updated to meet these new challenges of Social Media. We will discuss how providers and patients want to use social media for communications and how they may cause privacy and security issues. We will explore how requirements under the Privacy Rule, as explained in guidance from the US Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights, allow patients to choose their communication method, with new rules for electronic access of records held electronically. Learn about using an integrated information security management process to integrate new technologies into business processes safely and securely. Discover how your information security Risk Analysis must be updated to include social media, and how a lack of consideration for new technologies can lead to breaches and enforcement actions. Learn about the importance of policies and procedures and documentation of their training and use in order to provide the proper privacy and security protections and preparation for the new random audit program, now getting under way. We will also explain how any improper exposure of PHI may result in an official breach that must be reported to the individual and to the US Department of Health and Human Services. At the same time, complaints by a patient if they are not afforded the access they desire can bring about HHS inquiries and enforcement actions. We will discuss how to find the right balance of access and control. The session will discuss the uses patients and providers have for social media and what must be considered for compliance, and provide a road map for how to use them safely and effectively, to increase the quality of health care and patient satisfaction, and avoid breaches and penalties.
