Summary

Complying with Health Care Privacy Laws is an authoritative, insider's perspective on understanding the security and privacy issues surrounding the maintenance of health care information. Featuring partners and shareholders from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through the nuances of developing and maintaining an effective program to ensure compliance with HIPAA and other relevant federal and state security and privacy laws. These top lawyers explain the key elements of HIPAA, recent changes to the regulatory landscape, and the consequences of non-compliance. From understanding the relationship between privacy and security to developing an awareness of today's biggest threats to health care information and overcoming the key challenges associated with compliance, these authors reveal their advice to companies and offer step-by-step guidance on the attorney's role in evaluating and updating a compliance program. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating an increasingly-enforced and ever-evolving area of law.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
