HIPAA, Ethics Codes, & Virginia Law:How Do They Really Fit Together?

June 14, 2010 by

When it comes to privacy and confidentiality, how well do our legal requirements  (Virginia state laws and regulations, or federal HIPAA regulations) fit together with the Ethical Standards of our own profession?  How can we integrate these overlapping requirements?  If they impose conflicting  obligations, what do our Ethics Codes say about how we can resolve the ethical/legal conflict?   NOTE:  This workshop is not designed to serve as a substitute for formal HIPAA training.
