Re: Telehealth with Zoom or Teams

[Ted Wilder <twilder () MACALESTER EDU>]

An important recent change to HIPAA enforcement to be aware of:
https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/emergency-preparedness/notification-enforcement-discretion-telehealth/index.html

> From the HHS post: "OCR will exercise its enforcement discretion and will
not impose penalties for noncompliance with the regulatory requirements
under the HIPAA Rules against covered health care providers in connection
with the good faith provision of telehealth during the COVID-19 nationwide
public health emergency.  This notification is effective immediately."

Before this new guidance, Macalester established a HIPAA-complaint Zoom sub
account in our education/enterprise account.
