NAPABA Presents: When Vigilance is Not Enough: Preparing for and Responding to a Major Healthcare Data Breach
What happens when the “customers” are patients and the data exposed by a breach includes medical records and other protected health information (PHI)? The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), as amended, the HIPAA privacy, security, and breach notification rules, and state law govern how healthcare providers must safeguard their patients’ PHI and the steps providers must take in the event of a breach. These requirements are vigilantly enforced by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
Our panel of cybersecurity and privacy experts will walk through the HIPAA Rules’ requirements and share best practices for HIPAA compliance and preparedness. They will then discuss what happens in the event of a breach, the steps needed to notify affected patients and OCR and other government enforcement entities, and discuss the potential for follow-on litigation, including under new state law requirements such as the California Consumer Privacy Act and other data privacy laws.
Presented by the Health Law Committee
