The HITECH Act’s requirement for breach notification is the first national law – and the most sweeping – to call for the notification of individuals whose Protected Health Information (PHI) has been breached. The law and subsequent HHS rule are enforceable now, and organizations that incur a breach and fail to fulfill all of the standards are subject to both state and federal penalties.
This audio conference summarizes the breach notification requirements under the HITECH Act, highlighting areas that are particularly challenging for organizations, such as defining incidents and determining harm. It explains how breach notification steps fit into the mandated incident response plan and the need for proactive planning. Additionally, the speaker draws upon several real-life case studies to highlight important lessons learned.
