| Title: The Increasing Role of the Federal Trade Commission in the Poaching of PHI - A Discussion of Better Help, GoodRx, and Flo
Presenter: Rachel V. Rose, JD, MBA, principal with Rachel V. Rose – Attorney at Law, P.L.L.C., Houston, TX
Description:
Cybersecurity risk management and the potential for enforcement actions is not diminishing. An area of increasing interest by the Federal Trade Commission, the United States Department of Justice, and Congress is third parties taking sensitive data (especially by social media and search engine giants), including protected health information, without obtaining affirmative patient/consumer consent and benefiting financially. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the agency tasked with enforcing HIPAA, also plays a critical role. The purpose of this presentation is to address different federal government initiatives, recent enforcement actions and incidents, and risk mitigation.
Objectives:
- Learn about the differences between various laws and the implications for liability in relation to not obtaining the appropriate patient/consumer consent before using sensitive information for sales and marketing purposes.
- Appreciate the various initiatives, incidents, and enforcement actions taken by private entities in disclosing potential breaches, as well as different federal government enforcement actions.
- Glean risk management tools to incorporate into compliance programs.
