Discussing HIPAA with Shannon Hartsfield and Eddie Williams

In the fifth episode of our "Florida Capital Conversations" podcast series, Holland & Knight healthcare attorneys Shannon Hartsfield and Eddie Williams dive deep on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). They provide a helpful overview of this healthcare privacy law, describe what entities fall under its discretion and explain how it is enforced. They also highlight the narrow nature of HIPAA, explaining that many use the term to broadly describe healthcare privacy when in fact the regulations are relatively stringent. Ms. Hartsfield and Mr. Williams also offer insight on how they help clients come into compliance with HIPAA and the consequences for not doing so. Most importantly, in this episode our attorneys make sure listeners know how to correctly spell HIPAA. This Tallahassee-based podcast series takes a look at the many different aspects of state and local government through the lens of experienced legal professionals. Hosted by attorneys Nate Adams and Mia McKown, these candid conversations offer a seat at the table to everyone who listens.
