SHARING DATA, KEEPING SECRETS: 
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 
NEW HIPAA PRIVACY RULE 

Monday, February 12, 2001

Don't miss this important, "Must Participate" event - it's guaranteed to
underscore issues to which you should be conversant and savvy!


In this program, using a combination of telephony and internet
technologies, Alan Goldberg, JD, LLM will bring you up to date on the
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Privacy Rule.

The Department of Health and Human Services published its final rule,
Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, on
December 28, 2001.  The regulations, mandated by the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), establish privacy standards
for the health care sector.  During the teleconference, Mr. Goldberg will
present the basic background of the HIPAA law and regulation, and discuss
the implications of this privacy rule for the pathology and laboratory
medicine communities.  He will also outline basic compliance strategies
for this new regulation that will greatly affect how the health care
system operates in the future.

This teleconference is a must for all clinical and anatomic pathologists,
medical technologists, cytotechnologists, histotechnologists, and
technicians who handle patient information and laboratory data.  This
program will introduce you to a regulation that is certain to affect your
future practice patterns.
