Online Tech is hosting an educational webinar on the new final
HIPAA omnibus rule, No
More Excuses: HHS Releases Tough Final HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules
Thursday, January 31 at 2 P.M. ET. The webinar will discuss
how the latest HIPAA modifications affect the healthcare industry and
healthcare vendors.
Dickinson Wright’s Brian Balow will lead the No
More Excuses webinar with April Sage, Director of
Healthcare Vertical for Online Tech. On January 17, 2013,
the Department of Health and Human Services released its
long-anticipated modifications to the Privacy, Security, Enforcement,
and Breach Notification Rules under HIPAA/HITECH.
These modifications leave no doubt that covered entities, business
associates, and their subcontractors must understand the application of
these Rules to their operations, and must take steps to ensure
compliance with these Rules in order to avoid liability. To

Balow concentrates his practice in the areas of information
technology, healthcare law, and intellectual property, and has spoken
and written extensively on healthcare IT and telemedicine issues
(including HIPAA/HITECH). In 2012, Brian presented on
social media in healthcare issues at HIMSS12 in Las Vegas, and BYOD
issues at the HIMSS mHealth Summit in Washington, DC.
