The Omnibus Rule was introduced in 2013 as a way to amend the HIPAA privacy and security rules requirements<\/strong>, including changes to the obligations of business associates<\/strong> regarding the management of PHI.<\/p>\n

The rule merges the following four separate rule makings:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Amendments to HIPAA Privacy and Security rules requirements<\/li>\n
  • HIPAA and HIPAA HITECH under one rule now<\/li>\n
  • Further requirements for data breach notifications and penalty enforcement<\/li>\n
  • Approving the regulations in regards to the HITECH Act\u2019s breach notification rule<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Omnibus rule includes regulations that will:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Manage the use of patient information in marketing<\/li>\n
    • Includes a provision that requires healthcare providers to report data breaches that are deemed not harmful<\/li>\n
    • Makes certain that business associates and subcontractors are liable for their own breaches and requires Business Associates to comply with HIPAA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Although all healthcare institutions had to make changes and adhere to the Omnibus Rule when it was implemented, this checklist provides you with an easy way to evaluate compliance on a periodic basis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
