HIPAA in 2026: What Changed, What’s Coming, and What It Means for Your Organization

Over the last few years, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights has made modifications to patient privacy requirements. The agency is on track for enhancing care coordination, empowering patients, and reducing administrative burden. In addition, on the Security Rule side, the agency released a proposed rule to overhaul significant requirements and make cybersecurity safeguards a priority. Knowing what an organization must do to meet these new regulatory requirements can be challenging.

The webinar will address what has already changed in privacy, cover proposed Privacy Rule modifications, and cover the Security Rule overhaul proposals.
