The OCR has proposed some privacy rule changes that could shake up the way your covered entity handles patient records. Dena Castricone, Privacy and Healthcare Attorney at DMC Law, has come onto Armchair HIPAA to emphasize some of the changes that could be coming. Sarah and Dena breakdown the proposed rule changes and explain what could mean major policy overhaul and what could be a positive load off your shoulders, depending on your current policies. Dena stresses, that these are only proposed changes but now is the time to look them over. Once these changes are posted to the federal register you only have 60 days to submit your comments and concerns. Make sure you understand the changes and be sure to comment once they are posted!
