Vormetric Webinar to Address HITECH Act Data Security and Compliance Challenges--(Business Wire)-- Vormetric: What: In the upcoming October 21st Webinar "The Impact of the HITECH Act on HIPAA Compliance and Data Security: Clear Information Direct from the Legal Experts," Vormetric will be hosting a presentation with data security and HIPAA privacy legal experts from Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP to help businesses gain clear information on security and privacy impacts of the HITECH Act. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act has rapidly changed the way that healthcare payers, providers and their business partners need to approach data security. With data breach notification requirements for unprotected data already in effect, organizations need to obtain credible information on how this law affects their business data and compliance programs. A significant measure in the HITECH Act requires healthcare businesses to use encryption or destruction measures to prevent disclosure of protected health information (PHI), and a duty to notify via media channels, if this requirement is not satisfied. Topics to be covered include: ? Explanation of the HITECH Act Data Breach Notification and Safe Harbor Requirements ? How the HITECH Act impacts your HIPAA compliance program ? What business partners need to know about HIPAA security and privacy compliance ? Encryption requirements for safe harbor ? FTC (News - Alert) requirements for data breach notification When: October 21, 2009 at 11:00 am PST / 2:00 p.m. EST http://www.vormetric.com/resources/HITECHDataSecurityWebcastEncryption.html Who: From the law office of Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP, legal experts Marc Zwillinger and Rebecca Fayed will be co-hosting the Webinar to provide advice and direction with regards to the HITECH and its impact on a business' operations.
