Social Media Policies: Ensuring Compliance with HIPAA Rules

When:  Dec 12, 2016 from 09:00 AM to 11:59 PM (CT)

SHSMD members work diligently to ensure their social media policies are in compliance with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rules. Although HHS has not altered their rules, there has been attention by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to address HIPAA compliance issues. Now is the time to revisit how the HIPAA rules may apply to media interactions.

View this presentation led by the American Hospital Association which will focus on the following:

  1. Review of the existing applicable rules and their consistent reflection in the recent FAQ response from HHS related to interactions with media
  2. Discussion of how one SHSMD member organization enhanced its privacy policies and procedures are adaptable to new and different media interactions while ensuring continued compliance with the existing HIPAA rules.

NOTE: Since this will be a pre-recorded webcast, please submit questions for the presenters by November 1, 2016 to SHSMD@aha.org.
