COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Health Law Issues in the Age of Electronic Information and Communication Prof. Renee M. Landers 2 credits day; 2 credits evening.
Technology has changed the mechanisms by which health treatment and payment information is collected, stored and transmitted. The ways in which patients receive health care and information about health care also have been altered by technological developments because telemedicine and computer technologies now make treatment possible when physicians and patients are not in the same location. Balancing the potential advantages these technologies offer with the risks to privacy and quality of care challenges federal and state regulators. This course will consider selected health law issues arising in areas such as professional licensure for physicians and other health care providers, regulation of pharmaceutical prescribing and dispensing, electronic medical records and electronic transactions, research and marketing using medical information, and dissemination of health information through the internet. Relevant state and federal statutes and regulations will be considered, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and compared to laws of other jurisdictions including the European Union. Evaluation will be based on class participation and a research paper.
