Today, the HIPAAtrek team is happy to release two updates that will impact your navigation and interaction with the HIPAAtrek platform.

First, we have updated the sidebar menu navigation so that your navigation options stay in place within the menu bar without requiring your mouse to hover over options. This update is intended to streamline your navigation in an efficient manner.

Second, we have updated the Policy Group Page (click on any Policy Group in the Policies Module to see this page). This update will support bulk updates with a “select all” option, increase editing functionality directly on each policy listed, and add a list view option in addition to the existing view.

Please take a moment to watch the video presentation, shown in the player below, which introduces and demonstrates each of these changes. (Remember to select fullscreen mode on the player for a better viewing experience.)

Our in-house HIPAA compliance experts have added a new version of the Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) to your HIPAAtrek account, in response to the nationwide injunction blocking the Reproductive Healthcare Privacy Rule. Please note that this updated NPP (version 3.1) complies with the changes to 42 CFR Pt 2 and therefore should be implemented instead of simply reverting to a previous version of the NPP.

Our HIPAA compliance experts are watching this changing situation closely and will update your HIPAAtrek account with the necessary materials when these regulations are finalized.

To find the updated NPP, navigate to the Policy module and click into the "Notice of Privacy Practices" folder. Please reach out to support@hipaatrek.com if you are interested in reviewing the new NPP with a member of our team.

Our in-house HIPAA compliance experts have added a new addendum to our Information Blocking policy template. This addendum addresses updates from the Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Protecting Care Access (HTI-3) final rule, which became effective on December 17, 2024. This update aims to simplify policy management and reduce administrative efforts while ensuring compliance with federal regulations.

You can find this addendum in the policy folder within the Information Blocking policy template. Please follow the provided instructions within the document before using the addendum.
