The conference faculty, Stephen Bernstein, Partner with McDermott, Will & Emery, Susan Brownell, Assistant Vice President of Privacy at National Health Insurance Company and Mikel Lynch, Privacy Officer with the University of Missouri, will give clear answers on the troublesome aspects of the HIPAA privacy rule, including: accounting of disclosures; auditing; education and re-training of the workforce; fund raising; going HIPAA "overboard"; inadvertent disclosures; working with individuals/organizations that "invent" their own HIPAA rules; research; state pre-emption and prompt pay laws; and what actually constitutes the medical record.

The audio-conference will serve the information needs of CEOs, privacy officers, HIPAA team leaders, compliance officers, business development and strategic planning directors.

The audio-conference will include a live question-and-answer period, which allows participants to pick the brains of the presenters to ensure that all questions are answered. For more information on the conference, please email info@hin.com call toll-free (888) 446-3530 or visit:
