New technologies are transforming healthcare. According to a HIMSS Mobile Technology Survey of healthcare provider employees, about 90% say they are using mobile devices to engage patients in their healthcare—and 36% believe app-enabled patient portals are the most effective patient engagement tool. A Spyglass Consulting Report reveals that an astounding 96% of physicians use text messaging for patient care coordination—and 30% say they’ve received protected health information (PHI) via text.

How can you take advantage of the power these new tools offer while ensuring full compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)? Find out in a new Manatt webinar for Bloomberg BNA.

The CLE-eligible program will:
