The final rule implementing new obligations under HITECH and changing obligations under HIPAA is finally out. Covered entities and business associates need to come into compliance with these requirements by September 23, 2013. Is your organization ready? How will the changes affect your operations, and what will you need to do to comply with the new requirements?

- Fundraising and marketing
- Patient rights and access
- Sale of PHI
- School immunization records
