Keep Your Data Safe and Secure – Join Us for the 2022 Health Law Section Annual CLE Program

Iain StaufferBy Iain Stauffer 

The last few years have seen dramatic changes in health care. As change happens, it is always important to keep privacy and security in mind. The NCBA Health Law Section’s Annual CLE Program will include a session involving “Privacy and Data Compliance Challenges From All Angles: Practical Tips to Manage Risk.” From the HIPAA proposed rulemaking and OCR’s continued right of access enforcement, to the FTC’s renewed focus on health care app developers, ONC’s information blocking rules, and countless ransomware attacks, the health care industry is faced with compliance challenges across all aspects of operations. The rapid expansion of telehealth services throughout the pandemic and continued innovation across the health-tech sector provide essential benefits to patients and consumers but also add to the complexities of data privacy and cybersecurity risk. This session will address practical ways to manage risk without stifling creative advancements in health care models.

Please join your health law colleagues around the state for our annual CLE program, Friday, April 22, 2022, which includes this exciting presentation, as well as presentations involving recent innovations and their impact on the future of the health care industry, the expanding role of telemedicine, a panel discussion on the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on employment law, and a discussion regarding how lawyers can maintain emotional wellness in our demanding field.

This year’s program – “Change Can Happen Fast – Bring an Umbrella” – will offer an in-person live program and a live Webcast! You can receive 5.5 total CLE credits, including 1.0 hour of Substance Abuse/Mental Health credit. Register for the event here.
