CDPH Finalizes Privacy Breach Regulations

Effective July 1, 2021

The California Department of Public Health issued an All Facilities Letter (AFL) on July 2, 2021. To learn more about the regulatory update visit CDPH: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHCQ/LCP/Pages/AFL-21-21.aspx

The regulations do the following:

Allow hospitals to conduct a HIPAA-like risk assessment and report only those breaches determined to pose a high probability that medical information has been compromised. This will reduce the number of incidents that hospitals will be required to report to CDPH.
Specify the information that must be included when a hospital reports a breach to CDPH and to the patient
Require extensive recordkeeping
Set forth an administrative penalty structure, including base penalties and adjustment factors
