Live Webinar: Section 1557 Compliance: Understanding the Key 2024 Changes

$20.00

This CEU webinar delivers a comprehensive update on Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, focusing on the 2024 Final Rule and its sweeping impact on healthcare nondiscrimination compliance. Participants will explore how these changes restore and expand protections based on gender identity, sexual orientation, language access, and disability, while also addressing compliance obligations around AI and telehealth technologies. Tailored for healthcare compliance professionals, administrators, and civil rights officers, this training offers practical steps to ensure your organization is aligned with current regulatory expectations, including training mandates, notice requirements, and enforcement trends.

Section 1557 is the primary civil rights provision in healthcare, and the 2024 Final Rule significantly expands provider obligations. This webinar guides attendees through:

  • Federal Requirements for non-discrimination
  • Strengthened requirements for language access and accommodation for patients with disabilities
  • Updated expectations for AI and telehealth tools to prevent discriminatory outcomes
  • Real-world enforcement case studies and lessons learned from OCR investigations
  • Required changes to nondiscrimination notices, grievance procedures, and staff training
  • Best practices for compliance audits, digital accessibility, and interpreter services

 

Attendees will leave equipped to modernize their Section 1557 programs and proactively reduce risk of OCR investigations or loss of federal funding.

 

This course is good for 1 CEU.

On-Site Consulting Services Available

Along with your on-site full service program, you’ll receive all the compliance components you need to be OSHA and HIPAA compliant. You have access to online training for new hires or those that missed any on-site training. 

What to expect when we visit: Your TMC consultant will go through your facility and do a thorough facility audit with an electronic report, go over the Compliance manual, and provide on-site training. 

For our OSHA clients, we provide you with a complimentary spill kit, secondary labels, and meet with your Safety Officer and review their duties.

For HIPAA clients, your facility audit will identify any privacy and security concerns, we’ll provide you with a risk analysis report for your facility, and we’ll meet with your Privacy/Security Officer to review their duties. 

Whether you choose us for OSHA, HIPAA, or both, we will work with you to achieve compliance to create a long-lasting relationship rather than just providing a how-to guide leaving you to do all the work. Our goal is to be your primary resource for HIPAA, OSHA, and Infection Control compliance.
