I'm tickled pink to be the facilitator for CHIMA's new
Emerging Privacy Management Practices in Health Care
The Canadian Health Information Management Association (CHIMA) recently launched a live, 5-part privacy series, Emerging Privacy Management Practices in Health Care, beginning on August 6, 2020.
Telehealth and virtual care implementation has advanced 10 years in the last 3 months in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This series covers the critical aspects of implementing modern privacy management practices in your health care organization. This series is suitable for individuals with privacy-related roles (e.g., managers, vendors, or employees) across the continuum of health care (e.g., acute, primary, long-term or community care).
Each module will cover a privacy-related topic area including privacy awareness, release of information (ROI), access and disclosure, security/cybersecurity, and breach management. Environment overviews are shared throughout the series along with new opportunities for health information professionals in both traditional and emerging roles. By keeping current with these trends, health information professionals will be better prepared to assume new roles within privacy management.
Attend the live webinars to participate in a Q&A period with series facilitator and industry expert Jean L. Eaton.
