More enforcement discretion: HHS announces that OCR will exercise enforcement discretion with respect to providers who use on-line or web-based scheduling applications in good faith to schedule individual patients for the Covid vaccine.  This is in line with earlier Covid-related regulatory relief.  On-line and web-based scheduling platforms have been the source of some HIPAA breaches, and if they aren't set up right, can be problematic.  Just like Zoom, FaceTime, and the like.  But for the same reason, the benefits of speed, low contact, and easy accessability in the time of Covid are worth the risks.
