SUMMARY:Patient Access to Medical Records: Who\, What and When
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is Part 1 of 4 in the “I Heart HIPAA” webinar series.\nFollowing an enforcement initiative that has resulted in over 50 enforcement actions involving covered entities and business associates\, the patient right of access under the HIPAA Privacy Rule is again in the spotlight. \nIn December 2025\, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced an investigation into a complaint involving vaccination of a student without parental consent. In connection with that announcement\, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued a Dear Colleague letter reminding HIPAA-regulated entities of their obligation to provide timely access\, including when a parent requests access to their minor child’s record (unless an exception applies). HRSA announced a new grant requirement related to parental consent that began appearing in January 2026. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nIdentify patient access rights under federal law\, including the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the Information Blocking Rule\nExplain when a health care provider must provide access to a patient and when they have discretion to deny or limit access\nClarify how state and federal laws affect whether parents have access to the records of minor patients\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\nHIPAA Privacy Officers\nHIPAA Security Officers\n\nPresenter:\n\nDianne Pledgie\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Privacy in Practice: NPP Updates to Protect Your Health Center
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is Part 2 of 4 in the “I Heart HIPAA” webinar series.\nShow your Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) some love with this timely review of the HIPAA requirements and recommendations to protect your health center from patient complaints and OCR investigations. \nThe HIPAA Privacy Rule requires the NPP to describe how health centers use and disclose patient health information and how patients may exercise their rights to that information. With a compliance date of February 16\, 2026\, the revised 42 CFR Part 2 regulations require updates to the NPP to explain how substance use disorder (SUD) records protected by Part 2 are used and disclosed. Beyond regulatory compliance\, the NPP is also a valuable tool for proactively communicating with patients about data sharing with health information exchanges\, parental access to minors’ records\, and applicable state law requirements. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nIdentify the required elements of the NPP\nOutline best practices for incorporating 42 CFR Part 2 notice requirements into the NPP\nExplain strategic revisions and additions to the NPP that clearly define patient expectations regarding data disclosures and access to records under federal and state law\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\nHIPAA Privacy Officers\nHIPAA Security Officers\n\nPresenter:\n\nDianne Pledgie\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Post-Breach Break-Ups: Is it Time to End a Business Associate Relationship?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is Part 3 of 4 in the “I Heart HIPAA” webinar series.\nWhether it’s a vendor engaged by your electronic medical record (EMR) provider\, a pharmacy third-party administrator (TPA)\, or a local consultant providing coding support\, business associates frequently report breaches to covered entities. Some reports include tight timelines requiring the business associate to make breach notifications on behalf of the covered entity. Others arrive with limited information or incomplete data\, complicating the covered entity’s ability to meet its notification obligations. \nOnce the breach notification process concludes\, covered entities are often left with difficult questions: Should the relationship continue? What steps can be taken to reduce future risk and better protect the organization? \nLearning Objectives:\n\nIdentify the breach notification requirements for covered entities and their business associates under the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule\nProvide a practical framework for evaluating a business associate’s breach response and determining whether to continue the relationship\nDescribe contractual provisions health centers can incorporate into business associate agreements (BAAs) to mitigate financial and legal risk following a business associate breach\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\nHIPAA Privacy Officers\nHIPAA Security Officers\n\nPresenter:\n\nDianne Pledgie\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Amending Patient Records: Patient Rights and Health Center Responses | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:With patients gaining greater access to their records through patient portals\, it is essential for health centers to maintain accurate\, up-to-date information and to have clear policies for responding to patient requests to amend their records. Accurate and complete patient records are critical for high-quality care\, legal compliance\, and regulatory reporting. Whether patients request updates to correct a typo or to remove references to certain identifiers or types of care\, having a clear policy ensures timely\, consistent responses and may reduce the likelihood of a patient filing a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). \nThis webinar will guide health centers through the process of responding to patient requests to amend records\, covering when and how corrections can be made\, documentation requirements\, and compliance considerations under HIPAA. Participants will gain practical strategies to maintain record integrity while meeting patient rights and regulatory expectations. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDevelop a procedure for reviewing and responding to patient requests for an amendment within the timeframe(s) required under the HIPAA Privacy Rule\nIdentify when a patient request to amend their record can be denied and the related documentation requirements\nDiscuss strategies for amending records shared through health information exchanges\n\nAudience: \n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\nHIPAA Privacy Officers\nHIPAA Security Officers\n\nPresenters\n\nDianne Pledgie\n\n\nREGISTER NOW
