Enhancing Privacy in the Post-Dobbs Era


December 18, 2024 | 12:00 pm – 12:45 pm
This event has concluded.
In the wake of the Dobbs decision and the 2024 election, there has been a concerted effort at both the state and federal levels to strengthen privacy protections for patient care and health information in response to the significantly altered legal landscape surrounding reproductive rights. These efforts aim to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access and ensure the confidentiality and security of individuals’ medical information. This webinar will examine the current reproductive health privacy landscape, compare states’ varying approaches, and highlight legal issues relevant to hospitals and other stakeholders.

Participants in this webinar will:
1. Understand the current and prospective state and federal regulatory efforts to shield providers and recipients of reproductive health services from out-of-state investigations.
2. Learn about key aspects of the existing rules governing privacy of sensitive health information.
3. Possess the information necessary to assess their own organization’s readiness to ensure compliance with, and support of, patient privacy requirements.
