On April 24, the Federal Trade Commission announced that it had finalized changes to its Health Breach Notification Rule - to address emerging technologies.
Specifically, the Rule was broadened to (1) apply to entities not currently subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, (2) clarify what a breach of security is, (3) expand notification methods, (4) impose additional requirements for the content of notifications, and (5) amend the timeframe for issuing required notifications to the FTC.
