SUMMARY:Responding to Patient Access Requests in Compliance with HIPAA and the Information Blocking Rule
DESCRIPTION:HIPAA grants individuals the legal right to “access” their PHI. This includes a right to inspect and obtain a copy of PHI in paper and electronic format\, and to direct such PHI be transmitted to an identified third party.  There are only a few narrow exceptions to this HIPAA right. The Office of National Coordinator worked closely with the Secretary of Health and Human Services when drafting the Information Blocking Rule to ensure its alignment with HIPAA. Nevertheless\, covered entity health care providers should carefully review the requirements of both rules to ensure compliance with both sets of regulations.  \n  \nJoin AzSHA and speaker attorney Helen Oscislawski for a 1-hour webinar that will cover: \n\nHIPAA’s “right of access” (45 CFR 164.524)\nUnreviewable denials under HIPAA\nReviewable denials under HIPAA\n“Information Blocking” and “unreasonable interference”\nEHI vs PHI\nPreventing Harm Exception\nComparing HIPAA and the Information Blocking Rule\n\n  \nHelen Oscislawski is a corporate and regulatory attorney whose practice for over the last 20 years has focused almost exclusively on advising and representing clients in the health care industry. She cemented her reputation as a prominent privacy and health information technology attorney through decades of developed experience and working hand-in-hand with C-suite executives and in-house general counsels on how to structure and manage complex data-sharing arrangements in compliance with applicable federal and state privacy laws. She regularly conducts webinars and trainings on HIPAA and privacy-related topics. Most recently\, she has completed dozens of extensive webinar workshops on the Information Blocking Rule to “packed” virtual audiences. \nHelen was recently named Best Lawyers’ “2022 Lawyer of the Year” for health care law in the Princeton\, New Jersey region.
