Health Managment Associates is hosting a webinar about what healthcare organizations need to know to comply with strengthened HIPAA regulations. Revised HIPPA rules have created important new responsibilities and instituted new penalties related to “business associates” who handle personal health information or personal health records for covered entities. During this webinar, HMA experts Heidi Robbins Brown and Margarita Pereyda, MD will outline the new regulations, provide a framework for protecting patient data, and present a set of best practices your organization and business associates can use in efforts to ensure HIPAA compliance. This webinar is recommended for executives of Medicaid managed care plans, hospitals, health systems, and clinics serving Medicaid populations; state and federal regulators and healthcare policy analysts; Medicaid directors and staff; and state and federal officials for public health.
