Upcoming Webinar:
Being Prepared When You Get the Call: Safeguarding Against and Responding to Data Incidents
June 11 | 02:00 PM ET
For entities responsible for managing healthcare data, there is a day that we all hope never occurs: receiving the call that there’s been a data incident. Defending yourself against a data breach is an ever-growing challenge that requires a proactive, precise, and aligned front across the entire organization. And yet, even organizations with ironclad policies and procedures are at risk of serious security events. That is why it is essential to not only adopt best practices for preventing breaches, but to also understand what steps must occur to mitigate harm if a breach does occur. To set yourself up for success, join this webinar for a discussion with Foley Hoag, a Boston-based law firm, for an overview of the legal landscape behind data breaches. We will also hear from a practice about their recent cyber security attack experience and the steps they took to protect their patients and data.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore state and federal privacy laws as they relate to patient information
- Discuss HIPAA Privacy Rule requirements, including who is covered, required disclosures, permitted disclosures, and individual rights
- Highlight strategies and safeguards for defending against security breaches and unauthorized disclosures
Review best practices for responding to data breaches and mitigating harm
