General Credits:
Original Date Of Course:

$129.00

Course Description

Any person who creates, receives, maintains or transmits protected health information (PHI) or individually identifiable health information (IIHI) needs to be familiar with HIPAA, the FTC’s Health Breach Notification Rule and similar state laws. Shortly after an HHS Final Rule related to reproductive health care and related records was released in April 2024, it was challenged in a United States District Court. The court invalidated the portions of the Final Rule that dealt with HIPAA and reproductive healthcare. Just because the court in the Purl case invalidated those portions, does not mean that there are no remaining protections for reproductive healthcare PHI or IIHI. The purpose of this program is to provide a synopsis of the case, what was invalidated and what portions of HIPAA and the FTC’s Health Breach Notification Rule still apply.
