HITECH Toolkit

Federal regulations were released August 24, 2009 requiring covered entities to notify individuals, the government and the media after certain breaches of unsecured PHI are discovered. Aegis Compliance & Ethics Center, LLP has developed a HITECH Breach Notification Toolkit to help covered entities comply with the new rules.  The Toolkit is available for $395 and includes the following:

• The HITECH Breach Notification Rules
• Model policy
• Three template letters that could be sent to individuals when notice is needed
• Template language for website notice
• Template language for media notice
• Examples and scenarios of common HIPAA situations impacted by the notification rules
• Tool for documenting a HIPAA investigation to determine whether or not notification is needed
• Flowchart for notification decision-making
• Recording of webinar presented on September 4, 2009 that walks through the model policy and discusses business decisions needing to be made
• Updated model policy if HHS changes regulations by April 1, 2010
