Major  Changes to HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules Enacted in Economic 
Securities  Package
---------------------------------------------------------------

The  HITECH Act is the largest and most consequential expansion and change 
to the  federal privacy and security rules since the beginning of the HIPAA 
privacy and  security programs.

For the first time, HIPAA covered entities will be  required to provide 
specific notification to individuals if they discover a  breach of protected 
health information (PHI). Different rules apply if the  breach involves less 
than 10 individuals, 10 or more individuals, and more than  500 individuals.

--------------------------
Who Should  Attend
--------------------------

This program is designed for covered  entity executives, health care 
attorneys, CEOs, business associates of covered  entities, and health care 
practitioners.

By attending this audio  conference, you will learn and understand:
* The background of the  American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
* The major changes to  the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules enacted by the
HITECH Act  under the ARRA and how these changes may affect your company.
* How  current law and rules compare to the new provisions affecting HIPAA 
under the  ARRA.
* New compliance dates and what to expect from Health and Human  Services
(HHS) under these new  rules.
