Friday, November 15, 2013
Central Georgia Unit Lunch and Learn
Coliseum Medical Center - Psychiatric Unit
Time:  12noon - 1:00 pm
 Title: HIPAA Requirements and Electronic Privacy Rules:  Using HIV/AIDS as a Case Example
 Topic:
Final requirements under the Omnibus HIPAA/HITECH Act are in place and required of all healthcare providers as of September 23, 2013. Using HIV/AIDS as a case illustration, we'll review the final rules and their application to privacy and security in the average social work practice setting.  Beyond the definition of confidentiality in the social work code of ethics, new requirements provide detail on the extent of efforts mandated to protect the confidentiality of all protected health information.
