The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is proposing amendments to its Health Breach Notification Rule (HBNR) to expand coverage beyond entities covered by HIPAA. The amendments would allow the use of electronic data breach notification methods, require the inclusion of third-party names in breach notifications, and clarify definitions to include non-HIPAA-covered health technologies.
