She counsels clients on record retention and destruction policies, data use agreements, terms of use and privacy policies, privacy due diligence in corporate transactions, and data breach responses.
Victoria uses her health care regulatory knowledge to work closely with clients to evaluate the additional complexities that accompany health information security. That work entails assisting health care systems, payers, and physician practices with data privacy and security policies, obligations under the federal information blocking rules, notice of privacy practices, and other HIPAA requirements.
