How to Prepare for New State Health Privacy Laws

by McDermott Will & Emery | Mar 8, 2024 | Data Privacy

New state privacy laws regulating health data impose significant obligations and heightened risks. In addition to existing laws in California, Colorado and other states, Washington State’s My Health My Data Act and Nevada’s Consumer Health Data Privacy Law take effect in March 2024 and will require new or updated privacy notices, enhanced consent and many other compliance steps. Increasing regulator scrutiny of these issues and a new private cause of action in Washington make these laws top compliance priorities.

These laws impact entities ranging from healthcare providers and plans handling non-HIPAA health information online to pharmaceutical, fitness, wellness, identity verification and consumer goods companies. Join our health information privacy lawyers Elliot Golding and Sam Siegfried on March 12 to understand how these laws apply to your company and what you need to do now to prepare.

Discussion topics include:

The scope, applicability and requirements under state privacy laws related to health data
A deep dive into complex issues arising under these laws, such as the use of cookies and online tracking technologies
Benchmarking and practical recommendations for complying with these new requirements and building a harmonized compliance program

Telemedicine COVID-19 Briefing: March 16

by McDermott Will & Emery | Mar 13, 2020 | Telehealth

Government, media and industry have all pointed to the potential for telemedicine to assist in combating the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, steps have been taken by the government to ease the burdens associated with the use of telemedicine during this crisis. Unfortunately, the complexity of the regulatory infrastructure has left a fair amount of confusion with respect to the extent to which rules have been, and may be, liberalized. At a time when our healthcare infrastructure is engaging with a health crisis that will get worse before it gets better, confusion about the requirements for care delivery needs to be reduced to a minimum.

Please join us on Monday, March 16 from 1 – 2pm ET for an update on:

Loosened Medicare reimbursement requirements
State emergency efforts
Related issues associated with the delivery of telemedicine services during the COVID-19 pandemic

FDA Outlines the New Digital Health Innovation Action Plan and Software Precertification Pilot Program

by McDermott Will & Emery and Vernessa T. Pollard | Aug 7, 2017 | Data Privacy, General Interest, Telehealth

Last Tuesday afternoon, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held a webinar to outline a recently-published Digital Health Innovation Action Plan (Plan). In the Plan, the agency recognized that the traditional regulatory approach toward moderate and high risk medical devices is not well suited for the fast-paced, iterative design, development and type of validation used for digital health software products today. Going forward, the agency plans to explore an innovative approach to regulating these types of products. The approach contains three primary prongs: (1) the issuance of new guidance, (2) the Digital Health Software Precertification Program and (3) an internal expansion of FDA’s digital health capabilities.

The webinar was presented by Bakul Patel, Associate Director for Digital Health at FDA. At least 905 attendees logged in to the webinar. (more…)
