About Charise Frazier
As a health lawyer, part of my practice is assisting health care providers in the implementation of the privacy and security regulations under HIPAA and HITECH. I have extensive experience in advising clients regarding all requirements of HIPAA and HITECH including policies and procedures and mitigating impermissible disclosures of protected health information. Such experience include investigations and analyses of potential breaches under HIPAA and state law with affected individuals ranging from one to over 60,000 people in a single breach. My experience also include drafting breach notifications and media notices, assisting clients with communication plans, preparation and negotiation of identity monitoring agreements, notices to state attorney general and the development of an internal HIPAA breach reporting tool. Additionally, my experience include assisting clients with drafting responses to Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights related to patients' complaints of alleged HIPAA breaches.

Event Synopsis:
The HIPAA Privacy Rule deals with Protected Health Information (PHI) in general while the HIPAA Security Rule (SR) deals with electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI); which is a subset of that encompassed under the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The HIPAA Security Rule requires implementation of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards and documentation requirements.
The Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) recently reported that it will begin auditing regulated entities for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules. Regulated entities must report to OCR annually regarding breaches of unsecured 'protected health information' affecting fewer than 500 individuals.
Hence, companies handling personal health data need to be aware of the need to determine their risks, protect and upgrade their networks, enhance security policies and procedures, and monitor and control data sharing to avoid costly corrective actions or fines. But the consequences may be limited since signing a federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) agreement does not ensure the privacy of an insured individual. Rather, it merely notifies an insurer that the information may be shared by any concerned parties whenever deemed necessary. In light of data breaches, such as that recently suffered by CareFirst, this kind of lax legislation seems perverse. But, personal data is a valuable commodity and large corporations have significant powers.
In this two hour, LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will provide an overview of The HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules and Patient Privacy Rights in 2015. Speakers will discuss how the regulations will affect companies and consumers and provide sound advice to mitigate litigation risks.
Key topics include:
• HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules
• Information Privacy Risks Assessment and Management
• Guidelines for HIPAA Security Compliance
• Electronic Health Records Management
• Penalties for HIPAA Non-compliance
• Data Security Best Practices
