March 6: Saint Paul + Webcast - Current Developments in Privacy & Security Rule Enforcement

As privacy becomes an ever more public issue for Americans, how are privacy protections for health care information being administered?
The Chief Regional Civil Rights Counsel for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Jerome Meites, will discuss HHS’s administration of the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules. Mr. Meites will comment on coordination between HHS’s Office for Civil Rights, the HHS agency that enforces the HIPAA regulations regarding privacy, and state Attorneys General. He will also talk about HHS’s administration of the omnibus regulations, which became fully effective in the fall of 2013, as well as the privacy and security compliance audits that OCR and KPMG recently conducted. Mr. Meites will also discuss steps that covered entities can take proactively to prevent breaches of their patients’ protected health information and advice that lawyers may want to give to covered entities on these issues.
