HIPAA Privacy: Navigating Texas and Federal Regulations

CD-ROM Manual


THA Members: $295
Non-members: $350

Texas hospitals face a daunting challenge in HIPAA privacy compliance: applying both federal and Texas regulations - which sometimes conflict - and getting it right by fast-approaching deadlines. By working to influence the regulations at both the federal and state levels, THA gained a deep understanding of the requirements. THA has now combined this knowledge with that of Jenkens & Gilchrist, P.C., to create HIPAA Privacy: Navigating Texas and Federal Regulations, a roadmap to applying the regulations.

The manual:
  • Displays Texas and federal privacy rules side-by-side.
  • Indicates which takes precedence when the regulations intersect.

Order online or by fax or mail. The manual may also be ordered in a print edition -- please indicate this on your fax/mail form.
