The HITECH Act: The Evolution of Resident Confidentiality
The HITECH Act: The Evolution of Resident Confidentiality
HIPAA obligations were extended dramatically through the enactment of the HITECH Act in 2009. The HITECH Act was part of the economic stimulus package and provided for greater oversight of compliance with HIPAA regulations by healthcare providers. Congress increased penalties for HIPAA violations and expanded HIPAA obligations for business associates (vender partners). With the increased level of technology required with electronic health records, your company will need even greater focus on risk mitigation in the coming years.
