Electronic monitoring & cyber security

January 1, 2020, brings new Minnesota statutes regarding resident/client authority to place electronic monitoring devices in their nursing facility sleeping rooms and assisted living apartments. This new law applies to all current nursing facilities, boarding care homes, and housing with services settings who operate as an assisted living or have a special care unit. On Tuesday, September 17, Care Providers of Minnesota will present a live online workshop on electronic monitoring in nursing facilities & assisted living.

Learning objectives

In this workshop, attendees will learn the following:

LTC electronic monitoring explicitly became effective in Minnesota statute on January 1, 2020. Over five years later there have been situations where issues of privacy, ethics, data handling, data access, risk mitigation, litigation, and more have increasingly come to light. Please join us as attorneys Rebecca Coffin from Rodè and Coffin, LLC, and Steve Plunkett from Bassford Remele discuss policies, compliance, litigation and risk mitigation regarding the evolution of electronic monitoring.

As the use of electronic monitoring in nursing homes and assisted living facilities increases, providers must navigate complex legal, ethical, and operational challenges. This session will explore key considerations, including legal requirements, privacy concerns, risk mitigation strategies, best practices for handling and preserving footage, and facility rights. Through real-world case examples, attendees will gain insights into balancing resident safety, regulatory compliance, and staff concerns while implementing electronic monitoring policies effectively.

Focused on proactive risk mitigation in LTC, this series will help you learn practical strategies to identify and reduce risks, covering key areas like resident safety, regulatory compliance, and financial risks. Each session in the series will provide tools and insights to help LTC professionals manage challenges effectively and improve care quality.

No matter your site size, as the healthcare sector becomes more digitized, LTC organizations are increasingly targeted by cyber threats. Cybersecurity breaches not only disrupt operations but can also compromise sensitive patient data, leading to significant financial and reputational damage. This webinar provides an essential guide to understanding the landscape of cyber threats, risk management strategies, and solutions available to protect your LTC center.
