title: HIPAA privacy rule: clearer guidance, cloudier future.
abstract: There will likely be many developments through the end of the year regarding the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Healthcare Leadership & Management Report will be talking to CEOs from around the country during September to learn what they are doing in their hospitals and health systems to prepare for the coming compliance deadline for both the standardized electronic transactions and the privacy standards. We will report on what we find in a fall issue. Readers are welcome to submit their own case studies or information on preparations for compliance to Lee Reeder, editor, by calling 909-338-0909 or by e-mail at editor@americangovernance.com.
