PATIENT PRIVACY
Protecting patient privacy is an integral part of healthcare. Patients must feel comfortable knowing that their health information will be protected in order to share their concerns and receive the care they need. Failure to maintain that confidentiality creates licensure and liability risks for healthcare providers and can damage the reputation of a practice. Join us as representatives from MLMIC Insurance Company provide us with an overview of federal and state laws protecting patient privacy, and strategies to ensure you maintain the confidentiality of your patients’ information.
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
• Discuss the state and federal laws that govern your patient privacy obligations.
• Recognize the differences between permissible and required disclosure to third parties.
• Understand the consequences of violating state and federal patient privacy laws.
• Implement strategies to maintain the integrity of patient confidentiality.
