In response to the new Trump presidential administration, this session examines predicted HIPAA changes for 2025 and beyond, including a focus on privacy protections in general apart from HIPAA law because state laws will come to the forefront for patient privacy protections.
This webinar by HIPAA expert Mark R. Brengelman will cover state actions and laws and other federal agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission, with a prediction for what may happen under the new Trump presidential administration. In addition, new HIPAA laws from 2024 that are being implemented recently will be reviewed.
