This Webinar will help health information professionals understand what they have to do, and when, and what to keep in mind as they move forward, in order to be prepared for compliance with the new regulations. It will provide a comprehensive look at the changes in the law and prepare attendees for the process of incorporating the changes into how they do business in their facilities. l
New changes modifying the HIPAA Privacy and Security Regulations are going into place to meet the privacy and security mandates within the HITECH Act in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. New requirements for business associates of HIPAA covered entities and requirements to notify individuals in the event of a breach are only two of the many areas affected in the new law, including new requirements for restriction and accounting of disclosures and increased enforcement activity.
l
Covered entities that use electronic health records (EHRs) will need to meet new access and disclosure rules and all kinds of business associates and their subcontractors will need to establish compliance programs. A whole range of new regulations around the release and accounting of electronic records have created new burdens that your EHR and your medical records department must deal with. And if you are required to have a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, you will need to update that to show all the new rights that patients will have, such as electronic copies, new rights to restrict disclosures, and much more.
Areas Covered in the Session:
l
l
The new regulations will be reviewed and their effects on usual practices will be discussed, as well as what policies need to be changed and how. We will show what policies and evidence you need to produce if you are audited by the HHS Office of Civil Rights. Now that there is a legislative mandate to audit compliance, and a random audit plan under way, you need to be prepared to respond to audit requests.
l
l
The features that must be available in EHR systems and the questions to ask system vendors will be described. The processes for responding to requests for copies of electronic records and accountings of disclosures will be related to the regulations that require them. The role of business associates will be discussed, and the extension of the accounting out to them by way of their use of Designated Record Set data will be explored, including potential
l
necessary changes to business associate agreements. Learn how the new regulations change the way individuals have access to their records, and how much they can find out about
l
who has accessed their records. Find out about how Individuals can now request certain restrictions on disclosures that you must honor.
