HITECH/HIPAA Compliance?

Hello,

I thought I would let you know we recently released a HIPAA Survival Guide for Practitioners online. To access the guide, go to this website http://www.hipaasurvivalguide.com Also included on the website are the full text privacy regulations associated with the HITECH Act’s full text available and “clickable” at http://www.hipaasurvivalguide.com/hitech-act-text.html.

My wife and I decided to publish a guide for Practitioners that helps them understand the implications of the migration to electronic records and HIPAA’s privacy and security rules. We chose to write about these rules from a practical perspective because the push for electronic health records (EHRs) will shine a new light on HIPAA compliance. This effort began as a tool for our own use and we subsequently decided that the community at large might benefit as well.

Also, The Digital Business Law Group, P.A. (my Law Firm) launched a FREE HITECH/HIPAA Compliance newsletter that may be of interest to those who want to keep abreast of the changes as they occur.
