While home on paternity leave taking care of my baby daughter, I’ve had a fair amount of time to think about different issues, which means I think about HIPAA. The fact that my mind turns to HIPAA on my free time is probably the subject of a different post, but, for now, I am wondering what enforcement actions will look like under a new administration.
The previous eight years can briefly be summarized as a slow start that built to frequent and clear action. The early years of the Obama administration did not see much if any, HIPAA-related action, which was essentially a continuation of what had occurred since passage of HIPAA in 1996.
