Check out the latest episode of “Did You Know That?” with host Sean O’Rourke
“In 10 years the electronic medical record will be the minor player, in terms of where a person’s health history lives.” Leslie Saxon
For better or worse, your health information is moving or has already moved into a digital format. Best known as electronic medical records (EMR’s), these digital footprints can be accessed by doctors, nurses, dentists, caregivers, employers; basically any entity that requires even a small bit about your medical condition. Like all things digital, there are regulations that look to protect that information from being stolen or misused.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has been around since the mid-1990’s, but in the last six to seven years, it has roared into the consciousness of all who hold EMR’s due to the increased threat to these records by hackers. Understanding the obligations under HIPAA is where my next guest on Did You Know That? comes into play.
Stephanie Rodin is an attorney specializing in the medical/healthcare world, and you can’t play in this sandbox without understanding HIPAA. What makes our conversation well worth your time is her knowledge of how HIPAA is starting to impact even businesses that don’t have anything to do with medicine. It’s a tricky topic.
