Complimentary Webinar
February 19, 2015 • 2:00 PM - 3:15 PM ET
Manatt Will Lead a Panel of Business Associates and Covered Entities in Discussing the Results of Our Recent Survey on Compliance Issues and Challenges.
In 2009, Congress made Business Associates directly accountable to regulators for compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Regulations effecting that change were finalized in 2013. The enhanced accountability has raised pressing questions about Business Associates' preparedness, effectiveness and experience in meeting compliance standards.
In a recent survey funded by the California HealthCare Foundation, Manatt Health assessed Business Associates' compliance with their obligations to protect health information from the dual perspectives of Business Associates themselves and the Covered Entities they support. Now, in a new webinar for the World Health Care Congress—“Business Associate Compliance with HIPAA: Challenges and Solutions”—we will share the compelling results with you. Then, we will delve into their real-world implications with a panel of thought leaders, representing both Business Associate and Covered Entity organizations.
During the session, we will explore the types of services Business Associates provide to Covered Entities…the approaches Business Associates and Covered Entities are taking to satisfy HIPAA's privacy and security requirements…and innovative recommendations for improving results, from enhanced training to third-party certification.
The program will reveal:
- The types of services Business Associates perform—and their sophistication levels.
- Common challenges Business Associates face in complying with HIPAA.
- Common issues Covered Entities deal with in managing their Business Associates.
- Business Associates' capacity for compliance (i.e., due diligence).
- Experiences in negotiating Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)—and working with Business Associates during a breach.
- Rules governing Business Associates' handling, return or destruction of protected health information.
- Perceptions of Business Associate compliance after the enactment of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.
- The best ways to reach and educate the Business Associate community to ensure ongoing HIPAA compliance.
- Continuing oversight of HIPAA compliance.
- Recommended strategies for improving Business Associate compliance with HIPAA.
Privacy and security are increasingly critical issues—with research showing that people are more concerned about the privacy of their health information than their nonhealth information. Don't miss this chance to discover how to create a broader culture of awareness and compliance among both Business Associates and Covered Entities.
