As a result of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), many businesses which weren’t subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are suddenly struggling to understand their requirements and responsibilities under HIPAA. For example, the session will cover requirements and responsibilities related to negotiating contracts, accepting liability, providing indemnity and complying with federal requirements. This session will also discuss Business Associate Agreements: who is subject, what a subject entity is required to do (and what they’re not required to do), and what that means for their business –– especially if the business isn’t actually in the healthcare field. This includes an understanding of what should and shouldn’t be in the agreement; what may seem to be boilerplate should be carefully examined. A basic understanding of HIPAA requirements will be helpful for this session.

Developing technologies and our increasingly mobile and global society enhance the logistical ease and potential benefits of multi-jurisdictional practice. However, inconsistent licensing and unauthorized practice of law rules and the fundamental need to protect privilege and privacy may limit its usefulness and efficiency. In this session, in-house counsel from organizations with multi-jurisdictional presence will share ideas about how their companies and others might use available technology to better leverage resources across jurisdictions. Just as importantly, they will identify some potential pitfalls — ethical and otherwise — to help participants understand the practical and legal parameters of such practices involving MRCP 5.5.
