AHLA: Key Tips for Overcoming HIPAA Hurdles – An Inside and Outside Perspective

As part of the American Health Lawyers Association’s Moving Beyond Basics: A Bootcamp for Hospital Lawyers & Advisors series, Litigation associate Lauren Groebe will participate in Key Tips for Overcoming HIPAA Hurdles. Hospitals face HIPAA Privacy and Security issues on a daily basis. From cyberattacks to snooping employees, HIPAA hurdles can be challenging to overcome – to say the least.  In this webinar, we will take privacy and security scenarios that hospitals face each day and discuss how to address the privacy and security issues head on from the perspective of a hospital compliance officer, outside counsel, and a consultant. Topics will include:

• Cybersecurity awareness and proactive preparation;
• Breach/Incident Response;
• Business Associate relationships and Vetting your Vendors on the front end;
• Risk Analysis – Your documentation vs. OCR’s expectations – how to bridge the gap between the two;
• Innovation and HIPAA – how the two can coexist; and
• Convincing your boss(es) to invest in privacy and security – key tips for helping executives see privacy and security as a business issue.

Lauren will present alongside KPMG New York’s Director of Healthcare Advisory Services, Jaime Pego; BU Compliance & Privacy Officer, David Corbett; and moderated by, Iliana Peters from Polsinelli.
