HIPAA Business Associate Agreements Under HITECH – Rachel V. Rose, JD, MBA, Attorney at Law, P.L.L.C., Houston, TX presents. “As part of the Department’s effort to fully protect patients’ health information and their rights under HIPAA, OCR has issued this important new fact sheet clearly explaining a business associate’s liability,” said OCR Director Roger Severino. In 2013, under the authority granted by the HITECH Act, OCR issued the Final Omnibus Rule that, among other things, identified provisions of the HIPAA Rules that apply directly to business associates and for which business associates are directly liable. One of the most notable items is the Business Associate Agreement. The presentation highlights enforcement actions, as well as key compliance items business associates and subcontractors need to focus on.

SDOH Impact on Equity and Diversity in Clinical Trials – The FDA reports that only five percent of clinical trial participants are Black, fewer than two percent are Asian, and fewer than one percent are Latino. This grossly uneven representation in clinical research means that current treatments may not be equally safe and effective for all populations. These findings suggest a need for a larger focus on the social determinants of health (SDOH) when designing clinical trials. Especially in light of recent concerns over the lack of racial diversity in COVID-19 research, it is urgent that we address this health equity issue. On Jan 12, eHI will convene leading pharma manufacturers, and leaders in public health, to discuss current steps being taken to enhance diversity in clinical trials, and to address the use of SDOH in the design of clinical trials.
