WHAT:

Currently $27 billion in funding is available through Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) incentive payments for hospitals and other medical providers planning to convert to digital, interoperable health records. However, to secure an incentive payment and avoid future litigation, HITECH hopefuls must first understand the legal, compliance and technology issues that come with joining the digital world.

The one-hour session will explore the privacy requirements, data security rules and applicable health law regulations that healthcare organizations need to understand, including:
  • Criteria in the Meaningful Use rule for HITECH incentive payments
  • Managing the transition to digital health records through data mapping and preservation protocols
  • Technology and privacy issues associated with electronic health records and clinical information systems
  • How organized records help to minimize liability and decrease the cost and risk of litigation
