HIPAA and the HITECH Act
Patient Financial Services Weekly Advisor, May 1, 2009
Your patient financial services staff members can never know enough about HIPAA.
I authored a white paper analyzing the new laws in the Health Information Technology for Clinical and Economic Health (HITECH) Act – or Title XIII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, signed February 17.
Visit our Revenue Cycle Institute to download the white paper, HITECH Act and HIPAA: Strengthen your HIPAA compliance and training programs; prepare for new laws under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
I've also written some columns on the subject for our daily, online healthcare news Web site -- www.healthleadersmedia.com
Thank you!
