What the AHA lawsuit ruling means for the future of privacy in healthcare


Tuesday, August 6th, 2024 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

On June 20, 2024, a federal judge vacated a narrow part of the HHS guidance around tracking technologies, ruling that a person's IP address combined with a visit to a specific webpage isn't enough to constitute protected health information (PHI). 

This new guidance started a whirlwind of speculations about the future of privacy in healthcare marketing. However, most of the risks around consumer privacy haven't changed — and the stakes are higher than ever.

In this webinar, a legal expert with more than 10 years of experience in healthcare law will help attendees understand the four key areas of risk in healthcare privacy:
 
  • Which parts of HIPAA guidance around web tracking technologies still stand
  • Why for-profit healthcare organizations need to consider FTC consumer privacy regulations
  • How state-level privacy laws can be more strict than federal regulations
  • How class-action lawsuits work and why they are putting healthcare at risk
