         Areas covered will be texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data, personal devices, and risk factors.

         Mr. Brian will speak on specific experiences from over 18 years of experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor, expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases in state law, and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health information.
