HIPAA Compliance Updates 2024 & Beyond: Enforcement, Risks, and Best Practices

Overview

This 90-minute live webinar is a must-attend for practice managers, business managers, compliance officers, and healthcare professionals who need to get their HIPAA compliance in order.

HIPAA and HITECH regulations are now fully enforced with bipartisan government support, and the era of leniency is over. With recent updates under the Omnibus Rule, ongoing mandates from the Biden administration, and new regulatory developments in 2024 and beyond, healthcare organizations face stricter compliance expectations than ever before.

This session will cover the latest federal updates related to:

  • The 21st Century Cures Act (Information Blocking)

  • COVID-19 and Telemedicine changes

  • The Dobbs vs. Jackson Supreme Court ruling

  • Texting and emailing guidelines

  • The surge in Russian cyberattacks targeting U.S. healthcare systems

Drawing from over 21 years of experience as an outsourced compliance auditor and HIPAA expert witness, the instructor will share real-world insights into the most common HIPAA violations, recent fines, and the steps organizations can take to avoid enforcement actions.

You’ll also learn how patients are now empowered to pursue cash remedies for wrongful disclosures — and, most importantly, how to protect your organization by implementing proactive, best-practice compliance strategies.


Why You Should Attend

The HIPAA landscape has changed dramatically — from new enforcement priorities to increased penalties and expanded patient rights. What was once a lightly enforced regulation is now a high-risk compliance area with significant financial and reputational consequences.

In this session, you’ll discover:

  • What’s new under 2024 HIPAA and HITECH regulations

  • How the Biden administration and Congressional mandates impact compliance

  • How the Dobbs vs. Jackson ruling and state laws are reshaping patient privacy

  • The latest OCR enforcement trends and cybersecurity threats

  • How to identify risk factors that trigger audits or lawsuits

  • Practical, cost-effective steps to safeguard your organization

By the end of the webinar, you’ll walk away with clear, actionable guidance to ensure your practice or organization stays HIPAA-compliant and audit-ready.
