#5: HIPAA Survival Guide for Providers: Privacy, Security and the HITECH Act

HIPAA Survival Guide for Providers: Privacy, Security and the HITECH Act

The HIPAA Survival Guide attempts a “forest from the trees” overview of the HIPAA Privacy and Security rules, and also includes a general overview of the HITECH Act as it pertains to these rules. The genesis of these rules is covered in the Background section. The HIPAA Survival Guide only targets a subset of covered entities, namely healthcare providers, focusing mostly on small providers, since this group will clearly be the most challenged by new laws and regulations.

The Third Edition of the HIPAA Survival Guide updates various substantive text of the first two editions and adds completely new material. The HITECH Act has indeed proven to be transformational. In order to deal more effectively with its changing regulatory landscape we have decided to release an updated version available on Amazon’s Kindle.
