Medical Records Law Seminar on September 23, 2010

On September 23, 2010, I will be speaking at a seminar on Medical Records Law in Altoona, PA. Specifically, I will be speaking on:

HIPAA

What Is It?
Prohibitions on Use and Disclosure
Patient Rights
Business Associates
Preemption and Exceptions
What's Not Covered Mental Health, HIV, Others?
Everyday Application

Amendment and Correction of Records
Requests From Attorneys
Requests From Workers' Compensation Carriers
Requests From Employers
Law Enforcement Requests
Disclosures Without Authorization

My McQuaide Blasko colleague, and member of the Health Law and Litigation practice groups, Jon Stepanian, will also be speaking. Jon recently launched a health law and policy blog, Defense of Medicine, featuring contributions from some other McQuaide Blasko Health Law and Litigation folks.

I'll ~~steal~~ reuse some language from his announcement of this event:

This will be a great event to network with other professionals in the area and an opportunity to learn a few points related to developments in the law affecting medical records. You can learn more about the seminar here, including the other faculty members and agenda. CLE credit is available for attorneys and other credits are available through the American Health Information Management Association, the Institute of Certified Records Managers, the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards, and other professional associations as noted on the seminar information page.

We hope to see you there!
