DESCRIPTION:Overview
\nThe basic provisions of privac
y for protected health information are well known. HIPAA has been around m
ore than a dozen years. HIPAA privacy rules serve to protect health inform
ation of the patient from prying eyes\, yet the rise of social media provi
des new avenues and ways for the unwary health care practitioner to violat
e HIPAA&rsquo\;s privacy requirements. This can occur by untrained health
care workers at all levels of employment as well as careless\, licensed he
alth care practitioners.
\nHealth care practitioners and the faciliti
es which employ them fear HIPAA violations consequences of their own via s
ocial media posted by those careless or untrained health care workers.
\nExamine the uncertainty about how health care facilities and employers
may take action\, and may be themselves liable\, for HIPAA privacy violat
ions in the uses of social media. A violation can &ldquo\;go viral&rdquo\;
and spiral out of control making the consequences even more disastrous. E
rase the uncertainty and doubt that exists when the health care practition
er is confronted with a possible HIPAA privacy violation in the use and ab
use of social media.
\nFind out in this informative webinar that prov
ides you with a more complete knowledge of the HIPAA privacy mandates as e
nforced by state licensure boards and agencies and their own\, unique pre-
HIPAA confidentiality laws. Not only can a health care worker be &ldquo\;f
ired by Facebook\,&rdquo\; but a licensed health care practitioner may be
subject to \;licensure discipline as well. This webinar then devotes t
ime to an \;analysis of state licensure and privacy laws that may spel
l doom for the hapless health care practitioner.\n
