The Intersection of Interoperability and State Privacy Laws | A WEDI Privacy & Security Virtual Spotlight
All registrants will receive a recording of the spotlight
Recently, The Sequoia Project released “Guidance to States: Legislating Technical Standard Definitions for Existing State Sensitive Health Data Laws”. This document recognizes that as our healthcare industry moves toward greater interoperability—where health data should flow seamlessly and securely without special effort on the part of the user—there is an urgent need to ensure that privacy protections, particularly for sensitive health data, can keep pace and that the need for compliance with those privacy protections.
However, the protections cannot impede the ability to be interoperable. Join us as Chantal Worzala, PhD, Vice President, Strategy and Engagement from The Sequoia Project, walks us through this important document and entertains questions.
