Online Tech Hosts Webinar on HIPAA Security and Privacy Concerns with Patient Portals: Online Tech is hosting an educational webinar, "Security and Privacy Concerns with Patient Portals," Tuesday, April 16 at 2 p.m. Eastern time. Patients as consumers are demanding better and quicker access to their health information, while federal healthcare laws require healthcare professionals to allow patient access to their individual records. The Webinar will discuss how to handle HIPAA security and privacy concerns while using patient portals. While electronic portals are lauded for their ability to afford patients easy and fast access to their health records, the creation and use of these portals raise legal and regulatory concerns that fall outside of the typical covered entity/business associate/privacy and data security construct under HIPAA. Join us for an informative discussion of these issues, and some recommendations on how to minimize risk while successfully deploying an electronic patient portal. More at www.onlinetech.com.
