HIPAA-related HITECH regulations on July 8, "Lucy" and the football redux.
I won't go into details since these rumors have all been proven false so far and this one was denied almost immediately. As Charlie Brown learned, or actually never learned, you can't trust "Lucy". This time "Lucy" says July 8th but her May and June predictions proved false so why should we believe now? Ironically I just blogged about another breach of 200,000 patient records by Anthem Blue Cross. Lucy does not see any cause and effect here but others of us do. Added to the 2.5 million breached records already reported and we are approaching a significant number.
The BAs are waiting for a signal from their CEs or HHS/OCR to get started on HIPAA HITECH compliance, but since they are not hearing it from either they are delaying and denying.
