Episode 19: Future of Health Care in the US Series - HIPAA and Privacy Regulation

On this episode of Health Care Beat, our special series continues on Seyfarth's publication, The Future of Health Care in the US: What a Post-Pandemic Health Care System Could Look Like (Second Edition). Host Adam Laughton discusses the chapter he authored that focuses on three key areas specific to HIPAA and privacy regulation: 1) the impact that new and developing virtual and remote technologies will have on the shape and scope of HIPAA and associated privacy issues; 2) whether the COVID-19 contingency waivers will be repealed entirely, remain in place, or substantially survive in some modified form; and 3) recent developments not directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic, but which still have significant potential to alter HIPAA regulations and enforcement in the future.
