Issues arising from health information exchange (HIE), privacy, security, breaches, consent, patient rights, and evolving regulatory standards, like Meaningful Use, can be complex, and sometimes blog posts just don't offer enough space for us to share with you all the things we know and have learned over the years. Our Whitepapers dive deeper into specific topics, and offer more thoughtful summaries of issues to consider.  We hope you enjoy reading about the following topics:

• "HIO & HIE Legal Issues by Stage and Topic"
• "HIPAA Audits Scheduled to Begin November 2011...What Can Organizations Expect?"
• "Patient Consent, Sensitive Data and Health Information Exchange"
• "Health Information Exchange -- A Look Back, and A Look Ahead"
• "Summary Accounting of Disclosures Proposed Rule"
  

Additional Whitepapers are available through our e-Store:                             

• "Proposed Amendments to Rules Governing Patients’ Access to CLIA Test Reports"
• "HIOs as Business Associates under HIPAA, HITECH & State Law"
• "Permissible Sharing of PHI Under an Opt-Out Model"
• "Cyberinsurance and Health Information Exchange -- What Do You Need?"

Our e-Store is scheduled to go LIVE in Summer 2012!
