The Digital Business Law Group announced Release 2.0 of the HITECH/HIPAA Survival Guide (see above link) and a HITECH Risk Management Webinar Series starting in January 2010 (final date TBD). New information on the site includes:
- HITECH Act Text
- HIPAA Regulations
- HITECH Newsletter
- HIPAA Resource Directory
- HITECH Act Effective Dates
The Webinar Series will focus on developing a set of HITECH/HIPAA compliance frameworks:
- HITECH Act Fundamentals (basic tenets of the new compliance regime)
- Organizational (training and process change organization wide)
- Breach Notification (Response teams and response templates)
- Internal Audits (substance and frequency)
- Legal (business associate contracts, compliance tools, input into all other frameworks)
- Attacking the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules (coverage, budgets, staff skills)
DBLG will be introducing these frameworks in their FREE HITECH/HIPAA Compliance Newsletter with full coverage continued in the Webinars. The HITECH Act has introduced a furious pace of change into the health care industry and annual conferences no longer suffice as the sole primary tools for tracking industry wide game changing events.
