Nick Heesters, Sr. Advisor for Cybersecurity at the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR), discusses the role of OCR in enforcing HIPAA Rules concerning protected health information. OCR oversees privacy and security requirements for regulated entities and ensures individuals' rights, such as accessing their health information, are upheld. The agency achieves this through rulemaking, guidance, investigations, and enforcement. He emphasizes the 2021 HITECH Act amendment, which requires OCR to consider the implementation of recognized security practices (RSPs) by regulated entities during HIPAA compliance and enforcement activities. In June, OCR announced plans to produce a pre-recorded video for HIPAA-regulated entities on recognized security practices.
