You know HIPAA exists — but do you know what it actually permits, prohibits, and protects? In Session 2 of the Health Care Privacy 101 and Beyond series, Kirk Nahra, Co-Chair of the Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Privacy Practices at WilmerHale, goes beyond the basics to unpack the core mechanics of HIPAA — from what qualifies as Protected Health Information (PHI) to the three categories of permitted use and disclosure that govern every healthcare organization. Drawing on more than 26 years of practice, Kirk brings these rules to life with real-world scenarios that reveal the nuances most professionals miss. This session is essential for anyone who advises, works within, or provides services to the healthcare industry.
Who is this program for? at any organization that handles protected health information.

- The three permitted uses of health data: Understand the critical distinction between automatic treatment and payment uses, national priority exceptions (like public health reporting), and the specific patient authorization required for anything outside the norm
- Business associates and patient rights: Discover how HIPAA’s obligations extend through contract to thousands of vendors and service providers, and what individual rights patients hold — including ones most people never know to exercise
