This seminar addresses the challenges for covered entities and their business associates, including the newly imposed obligations on business associates, the procedures for notification of individuals in the event of a breach of unsecured protected health information and the three-tiered system of civil penalties applicable to violations of HIPAA's privacy and security rules.
