AI, Health Care & HIPAA – New Compliance Challenges

Description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming health care, drawing on vast resources of health information to reshape everything from diagnosis to treatment, payment, health care operations, research and much more. AI’s reliance on individually identifiable health information raises patient privacy and security questions that were unimaginable when the HIPAA Rules were developed.

The problem can be stated simply – what is AI, and what does it mean for HIPAA compliance?

Key Points

• Compliance with HIPAA Rules, standards and implementation specifications covering the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI) is well-defined for Covered Entities and Business Associates in the U. S. healthcare industry – as it existed 10 years ago.
• AI is being adopted rapidly by the U. S. health care industry to improve all aspects of the industry.
• AI draws on and processes information including PHI raising serious questions about maintaining PHI privacy and security.

  This webinar reviews AI, the limits of HIPAA and tough questions that need to be addressed now.
