Offering a live, online event may seem daunting, but the technology available today makes it easier than ever. This session includes an overview of two tools and a step-by-step checklist for planning, presenting, and evaluating a career development webinar.
10. HIPAA Compliance?
“The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) calls for
privacy and security standards that protect the confidentiality and integrity
of patient health information. Specifically, if you are transmitting patient
data across the Internet during an online meeting or video conference,
your online meeting solution and security architecture should strive to
provide end-to-end encryption and meeting access control to help avoid
interception by anyone other than the invited participants.”
