8/25/09 webinar to discuss soon-to-be-implemented breach notification requirements of the HITECH Act

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 included the HITECH Act, a law supporting the development of a nationwide health information technology (HIT) infrastructure for the use and exchange of health information for patient care.

Starting on Monday August 17, 2009, entities covered under the HITECH Act had 30 days before the security breach notification requirements go into effect.   On August 25, 2009, my Pepper Hamilton partners Sharon Klein and Peter Adler will host a free online webinar to discuss the final breach notification provisions and what organizations must do to comply.
