On December 4th, FPF, Intel, and Duke in DC hosted “The HIPAA Privacy Rule 15 Years Later: What’s Next?” The event brought together stakeholders across the health data ecosystem to explore the current challenges related to the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule. Specifically, the discussion focused on solutions to mitigate restrictions to data sharing in clinical care and research due to administrative burdens, while at the same time maintain the privacy of protected health information (PHI).

Washington, DC – The Future of Privacy Forum and DataGuidance have released a new report, Comparing privacy laws: GDPR v. CCPA, which analyzes and contrasts the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA).
