HIPAA Hints and Reducing Privacy Headaches

Healthcare attorney Shannon Hartsfield will be presenting at LeadingAge Southeast's 62nd Annual Convention & Exposition on the challenges aging services providers face in keeping their Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance programs current in a rapidly evolving landscape of technology, law and consumer expectations. As providers seek new revenue opportunities from data, the risk of unintended privacy violations and costly litigation grows, especially amid the rise of online tracking tools and the difficulty of properly de-identifying health information. Ms. Hartsfield will explore hypothetical scenarios that highlight common data privacy and security pitfalls, offering practical strategies to minimize violations and answers to attendees' toughest HIPAA questions.
