HIPAA Security Rule - Major Changes for 2025

This 90-minute webinar will address how practice/business managers (or compliance offers) need to get their HIPAA house in order as HIPAA HITECH is now fully enforced with bipartisan support and the government is not using kid gloves anymore. It will also address new congressional mandates and the major changes and updates for 2025 and beyond – both for the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule.

We will also be discussing current breaches most common breaches telemedicine texting emailing the 21st Century Cures Act (Information Blocking) and the OCR audit process..

I will speak on specific experiences from over 23 years of experience working as an outsourced compliance auditor and expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health information.
