Charles F. Dingman, Eric P. Stauffer and Randall B. Weill will speak on Protecting Confidentiality, FERPA & HIPAA
July 28, 2003
2:20 - 3:10pm

UNE Westbrook College Campus, Portland, ME
The new privacy and security rules adopted by the federal government under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) require major changes in the way in which health care providers, health plans, employers, and plan sponsors handle health-related records and information.  Educational institutions and systems may be subject to HIPPA in a variety of ways.  At the same time, the preexisting FERPA mandates remain in place and may in some cases overlap the new provisions.  This program will review the ways in which HIPAA is most likely to affect school environments and propose approaches to coordinating efforts to comply with these two regulatory rubrics.  Key issues arising in connection with HIPAA Business Associate Agreements will be included in the discussion.
