MentorHealth, a leading provider of online training for the healthcare industry, is organizing on November 8 on the topic, "New Finalized Amendments to HIPAA - Many Changes to the Rules, Many Changes Needed for Compliance".

Wilmington, DE (prHWY.com) October 21, 2012 - Description:
This session will delve into the new changes made into HIPAA regulations.
HIPAA regulations, the result of the HITECH Act of 2009, now carry many new changes, which professionals need to keep in mind in order to be compliant. Lack of compliance with the new regulations attracts punishments.
The changes, part of the HITECH Act of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, require business associates of HIPAA covered entities and requirements to notify individuals in the event of a breach.
Covered entities that use Electronic Health Records (E H Rs) will need to meet new access and disclosure rules and all kinds of business associates, and their subcontractors will need to establish compliance programs. The new regulations have created greater burdens for the medical records departments to deal with.
These are just two of the many important changes proposed by the new revision. This webinar will go into the details of the other new provisions and describe them in detail to participants. Participants of this webinar will have a better understanding of these new changes and will be able to implement compliant programs.
