Why HIPAA is failing and what you need to know to protect your data

Join us in this episode as we discuss the limitations of HIPAA and U.S. law in protecting health information privacy with our guest, Brian R. Jackson. As a pathologist, Brian provides a unique perspective on the challenges of modernizing health privacy law and the potential benefits it can bring, including better public health data aggregation and improved public health outcomes. We'll delve into the three glaring deficiencies of HIPAA, the de-identification loophole, and the limitations of distinguishing between different types of subsequent data uses. Tune in for an insightful discussion on the need for stronger data privacy protections in the health care industry.
