Last week, we blogged about the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services putting on display at the Office of Federal Register the long-awaited “Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Enforcement, and Breach Notification Rules under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act; Other Modifications to the HIPAA Rules” (the “Omnibus Rule”). Today, the Omnibus Rule was published in the Federal Register – and Alston & Bird has issued a Health Care ADVISORY on the Omnibus Rule. The Health Care ADVISORY can be found on our website at: www.alston.com/advisories/healthcare-HIPAA/HITECH-Act-Omnibus-FinalRule
