On July 29, 2024, the FTC's revised Health Breach Notification Rule (HBNR) takes effect. The Rule requires vendors of personal health records (PHRs) and related entities not covered by HIPAA to notify individuals, the FTC, and in some cases, the media in the event of a breach of unsecured personal health data. Businesses operating a wide array of services, including health, diet, and fitness apps should take care to review the revised HBNR and assess its applicability to their practices. https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/ad-law-access/what-updates-to-the-health-breach-notification-rule-mean-for-your-business Aaron Burstein aburstein@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8453 https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/aaron-j-burstein Alex Schneider aschneider@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8634 https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/alexander-i-schneider Subscribe to the Ad Law Access blog - www.kelleydrye.com/subscribe Subscribe to the Ad Law News Newsletter - www.kelleydrye.com/subscribe View the Advertising and Privacy Law Resource Center - www.kelleydrye.com/advertising-and-privacy-law Find all of our links here linktr.ee/KelleyDryeAdLaw Hosted by Simone Roach

On today's Health in 2 Point 00, Jessica is distracted playing video games, and rants about the unbearable maleness of wearables. Meanwhile Komodo Health raises $50m for more analytics (presumably of patients playing Pong), Picnic Health gets $25m as PHRs will not go away, Hazel Health gets $33 million to take telehealth back to school, and then there's Amazon Halo — and our stars' alter egos make an appearance

Prominent health organizations say; (1) changes in the way we keep health records could save billions; (2) widespread use of PHRs could save $13 to $21 billion a year. Use PHRs to partner with your healthcare provide to save healthcare dollars and yours and your physician's time. Learn what prominent health organizations say about personal health records.

Host: Jack Lewin, MD Guest: Richard Katz, MD Use of electronic medical records (EMRs) and personal health records (PHRs) can improve adherence, increase efficiency and better coordinate patient care. What role are health information exchanges playing in the integration of EMRs and PHRs, and how effective are disease management software programs? How can we meet the challenges of integrating health information technology, or HIT, tools into cardiology practices? Dr. Richard Katz, the Bloedorn Professor of Cardiology, director of the division of cardiology at George Washington University Hospital, and director of the George Washington Cardiovascular Institute in Washington, DC, discusses the opportunities to utilize existing and emerging technologies to improve patient care. Dr. Katz also offers pragmatic advice about implementing HIT systems, and reviews current HIT initiatives. Hosted by Dr. Jack Lewin. Produced in Cooperation with

Even as issues of privacy, security and connectivity are sorted out, the personal health record (PHR) continues to gain traction among consumers, and technological improvements continue to make adoption easier for patients, providers and payers. Notwithstanding increased acceptance and ease-of-use, there is still uncertainty about the role PHRs will play in national healthcare initiatives, in consumer-directed healthcare and who really stands to gain from widespread use. Dr. Ed Fotsch, CEO of Medem Inc., joins host Dr. Kevin Fickenscher to discuss the implications of PHRs in health care.

The involvement of the kidney in the pathogenesis of hypertension has long been recognised, although the specific renal mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still unknown. A current hypothesis attributes hyper tension to a reduction in glomerular filtration area by glomerular loss, The present study analyses the relationship between glomerular number and volume and conscious systolic blood pressure (SBP) in 4- to 53-week-old hypertensive (PHR) and normotensive (PNR) rats of the Prague strain. Adult PHRs had higher SEP, were larger and had larger kidneys than PNRs, but 20% fewer glomeruli, A significant negative correlation between SEP and glomerular number was found in PHR males, but not in PHR females or PNRs. There was no correlation at all between glomerular volume and SEP and, in young animals, both SEP and glomerular number were higher in PHRs than in PNRs. In addition, in adult PHRs, glomerular volume and SEP were higher in males than in females. In summary, a generally valid, causal relation-ship linking raised blood pressure to decreased glomerular number or volume could not be demonstrated in the Prague rat model of genetically determined hypertension. The nature of the renal mechanism(s) determining the hypertension in this model remains unknown. Copyright (C) 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel.
