HIPAA.com Launches HIPAA TV

ATLANTA, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- As the old expression goes, "a picture is
worth a thousand words." This month HIPAA.com launches its sister site, HIPAA
TV, to give its visitors an additional perspective on what to do and how to go
about it. HIPAA TV expands the HIPAA.com knowledge-base with video clips of
public announcements, speeches, demonstrations, case studies, and satire as
they relate to HIPAA, the HITECH Act, and other legislative and regulatory
healthcare initiatives to aid health systems and providers in benefiting from
the new Health Information Technology stimulus dollars.

HIPAA TV syndicates these videos at a single site as a complement to the
documentation available at HIPAA.com, helping visitors to save time searching
for the pertinent information that they need. "Both sites are great sources of
information for privacy and HIT," says Joseph E. Scherger, MD, MPH, Vice
President of Primary Care at the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage,
CA.

HIPAA.com is the go-to resource site for information and services related to
privacy laws and policies. Since its launch in January 2009, HIPAA.com has
provided the healthcare community with a single site where visitors find
immediate access to information on: HIPAA regulations on electronic
transactions, privacy, and security; HITECH Act security rules for business
associates, "breach notification" privacy requirements for disclosure of
unsecured protected health information to unauthorized persons, and financial
incentives for healthcare providers to adopt and meaningfully use electronic
health records, all of which were enacted as part of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act in February 2009; and practical guidance on how to comply
with HIPAA and HITECH Act rules, written not as legal advice, but as a roadmap
of what to do and how to go about it.
