The enormous growth in Telehealth has spurred an increase in emails and texts with patients – providers beware – you need to follow HIPAA.
Privacy wins, this time against Facebook. Its use of biometric facial data violates an Illinois law protecting privacy.
Patient privacy still matters during a pandemic. While some rules have been relaxed, the heart of HIPAA – maintaining patient privacy – remains the law.
Telehealth is essential today, but with COVID-19, it presents new cybersecurity risks for providers and patients alike.
The Supreme Court and the FCC have recently reinforced patient privacy. Texting with patients is permitted, but HIPAA requires prior express consent.
Healthcare is vulnerable during COVID-19 and cybercriminals are on the attack. Big organizations and people working from home beware.
