HIPAA Omnibus Final Rule

The Department of Health and Human Services released modifications to HIPAA rules covering privacy, security, enforcement, and breach notification as mandated by the HITECH Act. These regulatory updates apply to all entities handling protected health information under the HIPAA framework.

Why it matters: Healthcare organizations, business associates, and their security teams must update policies and controls to comply with new HIPAA requirements or face enforcement penalties and fines.
