Health Information Technology, and privacy and security concerns surrounding technology as initially addressed by HIPAA and the HITECH Act, is a major focus of our health care clients. Our attorneys have significant experience in counseling health care providers in the acquisition and use of health information technology and applicable federal and state laws concerning the privacy and security of medical information. On behalf of health systems, hospitals, physicians, physician organizations and billing companies, we have carefully crafted and negotiated the agreements necessary to address the business, operational and regulatory underpinnings of the use of health information technology and the privacy and security of medical information, including the agreements between our clients and the myriad of service and supply firms that conduct business with them.
