The Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization has created a lot of confusion in the healthcare industry. The decision effectively overturned Roe v. Wade, leaving it up to states to determine their reproductive health policies. This leaves many questions unanswered, such as what care can be delivered and where, and what technology solutions are creating risks to data. At the HIMSS23 Global Conference, experts reviewed the current legal landscape as it pertains to reproductive health. There are also concerns around drug development and the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). Additionally, there's a concern around digital health products and the data they collect, which may fall outside of HIPAA because they're not covered entities. With vastly differing responses from states, it's difficult for healthcare organizations to know how to proceed. Companies should look at how to structure their terms of use and privacy policy. What are your thoughts about it? Share them in the comments below. #DobbsvJackson #SupremeCourtDecision #ReproductiveHealth #RoevWade #HealthcarePolicy #LegalLandscape #HIMSS23 #GlobalConference #DrugDevelopment #EMTALA #DigitalHealth #HIPAA #HealthcareRegulation #PrivacyPolicy #HealthcareOrganizations #TermsOfUse #DataPrivacy #StateLaws #HealthcareIndustry #CommentBelow

How might upcoming amendments to HIPAA impact reproductive health care providers, health plans, health care clearinghouses, and their business associates? On April 26, the Office of Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a final rule to amend the HIPAA Privacy Rule, enhancing privacy protections for reproductive health care (the RHC Rule). Effective June 25, the RHC Rule aims to protect reproductive health information from disclosure for criminal, civil, or administrative investigations related to lawful reproductive health services. In their latest First Alert, Calfee's Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation group outlines the prohibitions and allowances of the RHC rule and explores potential next steps for Regulated Entities to consider.

With the fall of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, the reproductive health landscape changed in ways unimaginable a short time ago, when electronic health records became the norm. With increasing interoperability of medical records, reproductive health information is being shared widely and across state lines. This may put women seeking healthcare outside of their home state in a precarious position, risking their privacy, health and liberty.
