HHS will give facilities an opportunity to listen to officials who developed the privacy rule and ask questions at four national conferences. The one-day conferences will be held in San Diego, Atlanta, New York, and Chicago.
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) will provide an expert faculty who will answer questions following their presentations.
According to HHS, attendees will learn the following:
- How the preemption rules create a national floor of privacy protections
- Who is a covered health care provider
- What type of information is protected under the privacy rule and what is meant by the terms "use," "disclosure," "minimum necessary," and "incidental disclosures"
- When it is necessary to obtain an authorization to use or disclose PHI and what constitutes a valid authorization
- When to use an authorization for research and when research may be conducted without an authorization
- How research authorizations pre-dating the compliance date are treated
