When HIPAA and Social Media Collide
Duration: 60 Minutes
This presentation will provide an overview of the common social media risks from a HIPAA compliance perspective. More specifically it will cover the HIPAA regulatory framework, social media policies, the dos and don'ts of social media, conducting staff training, and responding to a breach involving social media. To supplement the discussion, Mr. Anstine will offer some operational insights as well as regulatory enforcement trends.
Objectives of the Presentation
When HIPAA was passed back in 1996, social media did not exist as we know it today. Since that time, social media has exploded into a common form of communication, including a powerful tool used by healthcare organizations seeking a greater presence in the marketplace. As social media has grown, so too has public awareness and concern for the use of an individual's protected health information ("PHI"), including social media. As a result, the potential for an Office of Civil Rights ("OCR") investigation following up on a patient complaint has greatly increased. This presentation is designed to help guide your organization to ensuring compliance in light of these shifting trends.
Who will Benefit
As the use of social media has increased, so too has the potential for your organization to breach a patient's protected health information. Changing technologies and forms of communication are always of concern to the OCR making proper social media use a continued hot button issue.
