(Recorded Webinar) PHI for Media and Marketing

This webinar is closed to new enrollments. For more patient privacy and confidentiality trainings, click here.


Recent HIPAA settlement agreements with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) have cost covered entities between $100,000 to $2.2 million in penalties for disclosing protected health information to the media without patient authorization. 

While OCR has provided covered entities with guidance on allowing the media to access to treatment and other areas, few covered entities realize that such access is only permitted in very limited circumstances unless the individual being filmed has signed an authorization. When creating their own promotional videos, print publications or web images, health centers must develop a process for obtaining and retaining patient authorization. 

As health centers work with the media to highlight their programs, they must carefully navigate the patient authorization requirements under HIPAA. This webinar will cover:

  • Recent HIPAA settlements and corrective action plans related to disclosures of patient information to the media or for promotional purposes
  • OCR’s guidance on allowing members of the media to enter treatment and other areas of a covered entity
  • Development of required policies and procedures, a compliance training plan and best practices to limit risk of an unauthorized disclosure to the media or for promotional purposes
