While Health Information Technology is just one aspect of our healthcare practice, it is likely to be one of the major issues facing healthcare providers over the next few years. Our unique Healthcare Information Technology practice provides legal and compliance services to information technology companies and healthcare providers by providing regulatory advice, drafting and negotiating contracts, counseling and litigation in all aspects of the data security, privacy, and use and transmissions of data on both state and federal levels. We have experience with a broad range of licensing, outsourcing and other technology transactions on behalf of hospitals, physicians groups, health information networks, telemedicine organizations and technology companies. We work with our clients to address regulatory compliance with software or product modifications, enhancements and upgrades.

We have counseled numerous clients on issues related to electronic exchange of health information, personal health records, pay for performance and payer programs, discovery, document preservation issues, document retention policies, and data breach issues. We regularly advise our clients regarding issues related to the acquisition of complex information technology systems and the electronic exchange of health information and when security breaches or theft or loss of electronic storage media or health records occurs, including how to prevent such future breaches and thefts. We also work with our clients to address regulatory compliance and best practices in the constantly changing electronic medical record industry.
