Vorys launches new blog that focuses on health information technology

Vorys' fifth and newest blog was launched to provide interesting and pertinent analysis of a variety of issues involving health information technology (HIT). The blog, available at www.healtHITechlaw.com, will provide readers with frequent updates on developments in HIT, including HIPAA/HITECH compliance and the interplay of state privacy laws, electronic health record implementation and use challenges, review of new HIT tools and status of health information exchanges.

"The health information technology environment is constantly evolving and it can be hard for health care providers to keep up," said Lisa Pierce Reisz, a partner in the health care and litigation groups and an editor of the blog.  "The HealtHITech blog will keep our clients and others updated with valuable information and timely analysis on the pertinent legal issues surrounding health information technology issues, including all facets of HIPAA/HITECH compliance."
