Critical Deadlines & Changes
- February 16, 2026: All practices must update Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) under new HHS rules.
- OSHA Penalties: Serious violations up to $16,550 – but new relief allows small practices up to 70% reduction if corrected quickly.
- Infection Control: Continued emphasis on aerosol diseases and bloodborne pathogens (#1 citation).
Stay ahead – noncompliance risks fines, suspensions, and reputational damage.
