“One-In, Two-Out”
Will the Trump Administration Reduce HIPAA’s Administrative Burden?
WEBINAR
Healthcare entities are concerned about protecting patient privacy and securing health information but are HIPAA’s compliance requirements too much for providers? The 21st Century Cures Act and President Trump’s “one- in / two- out” push on regulations has prompted the Office for Civil Rights interest in understanding, from practitioners, what parts of HIPAA Privacy or Security Rules are creating the most administrative burden. Would you say it is the Accounting of Disclosures requirement, Notice of Privacy Practices, Patient right to request restrictions, or something completely different?
