Overview: Discussions, presentation, and webinars regarding HIPAA regulations are usually addressed from the perspective of what the regulations entail, the necessity of compliance with the regulations, and the consequences of willful neglect or non-compliance. This presentation addresses HIPAA regulations from a different perspective - from a personal perspective - from the perspective of the person in charge of moving an organization or facility toward full compliance with HIPAA. The by-product of this presentation will be both an understanding of, and a detailed job description for, a position mandated in the regulations - the HIPAA Security/Privacy Officer. Why should you attend: The HIPAA regulations are numerous, complicated, often vague, and affect every person working in a healthcare facility. Compliance with HIPAA will require a unique individual to lead the charge - an individual whose education, background, experience, and demonstrated skill sets offer the opportunity for that person to succeed in achieving the goals of that position. This is a new position to most healthcare facilities. So understanding who this person should be, what is required of the person with this job title, and with whom this person will interface is vital to every healthcare organization with the goal of achieving full compliance with HIPAA. Areas Covered in the Session: Position goals Position requirements (education, experience, skill sets, etc.) Position responsibilities Stay abreast of regulations Initiate compliance with HIPAA (according to regulations) Ensure continuous progress toward full compliance Develop appropriate security/privacy policies & procedures Oversee and deliver appropriate training programs to all employees Track compliance with HIPAA regulations at the facility & individual levels Track access to PHI Investigate and resolve HIPAA violations Apply sanctions to HIPAA violators Manage any information security personnel Prepare a department

Overview: Mental health care practitioners work in today's diverse, fast-changing, multidisciplinary health care environment. Nowhere but in mental health is there such diversity of clinicians who provide the same or similar services of counseling and therapy. A potential client has a wide choice of mental health providers from whom to choose. Yet each individual mental health profession has a unique education, training, and experience requirement for practice. While similarities exist, requirements differ from state to state and even from profession to profession with a single state. What are these requirements and how do they apply? The state's authority and power over mental health practitioners often presents challenges to these mental health professionals that are not easy to navigate. Differing sources of legal and ethical authority govern each respective health care practitioner in ways that are similar but not the same. Ethics and law are similar, but not the same. All mental health practitioners must adhere to standards of state law which govern their professional practices, including the very core of the doctor-patient relationship. Codes of ethics and state law may both apply to govern the conduct of this clinician. Even some state laws are referred to as ethical codes. Complaints as to alleged misconduct or ethical failings are received and investigated by a state agency and leave the mental health practitioner with an uncertain process to handle and to defend the state action against them. With this background, this seminar empowers the full understanding and application of ethics and laws for mental health practitioners. Learn to identify and understand an ethical framework for a sound mental health practice. An ethical framework is essential to having the right perspective to examine mental health dilemmas. Compare and contrast regulatory laws and codes of ethics to understand their differing applicability. Know the difference between laws and ethics,

Patient quality and safety in healthcare: Patient quality and safety are core aspects of healthcare. They need to be administered and assessed in the backdrop of a variety of factors. Many healthcare professionals see patient quality and safety in healthcare as being part of the broad canopy of healthcare. There is some disagreement and confusion as to the exact meaning of the terms patient quality and safety, but that is only when it comes to semantics. In broad terms, one can understand patient quality and safety in healthcare as efforts and steps and processes meant to improve the quality care given to patients. Patient quality and safety in healthcare relates chiefly to: Improving the safety of patients and augmenting the quality of health care in the various areas of health Bringing about a reduction in infections that are sometimes a byproduct of provision of health care Reduction in the incidence of adverse drug events Quality healthcare, of which patient quality and safety in healthcare are an integral part, is defined as "…doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right person, and having the best possible result" by The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The AHRQ also describes patient safety as "the act of doing no harm", and which "…underlies all aspects of quality health care." Measuring patient quality and safety: Measuring patient quality and safety in healthcare is of utmost importance because no system or practice is meaningful unless it is capable of being measured. The level and success of patient quality and safety in healthcare is measured against the following parameters: How many patients who underwent surgery experienced infections? How many patients were required to be admitted for a second or subsequent time following discharge from hospital because of complications such as infections or recurrence of the problems for which the patient was admitted? To what extent did the healthcare

Cerebral palsy is considered a neurological disorder caused by a non-progressive brain injury or malformation that occurs while the child's brain is under development.

Cardiac markers are special antibodies measured in the blood to measure heart function. They can also be used in the detection or early diagnosis of certain diseases. Although they're usually associated with myocardial infarction, they can also be indicative of many other conditions. For instance, hyperthyroidism and thyroid prophylaxis can result in an elevated elevation in plasma marker levels. As per the American Heart Association (AMA), in 2016, cardiovascular disease accounted for 17.6 million deaths across the globe. The ECG is one of the most useful cardiac marker testing device. It measures the cardiac output and provides detailed information about heart conditions. This test is used to diagnose heart diseases and the complications that can arise from the disease. ECG is one of the most widely used tests. ECG is conducted while the patient is lying down on the table. A technician places electrodes either in or on the skin surface. The test is normally performed for different purposes. Read more @ https://coherentmarketinsights-cmi.blogspot.com/2021/03/cardiac-marker-testing-devices-have.html

Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a systemic disorder and a common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The condition can be subclassified into acute classic GVHD, persistent, recurrent, or late-onset acute GVHD, classic chronic GVHD, and overlap syndrome. High adoption of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and increasing prevalence of certain cancers of the blood or bone marrow, such as multiple myeloma or leukemia is expected to propel growth of the graft versus host disease (GvHD) market. For instance, according to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, 176,200 people in the US are expected to be diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma in 2019. Moreover, around 30,000 patients undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant annually in the United States, with approximately 20% to 85% developing aGvHD that affects the skin, gut, or liver.

Many people suffer from allergies. In fact, there are millions of people who suffer from allergic reactions to a variety of substances and foods on a daily basis. For instance, , according to the study, "A cross-sectional study of the prevalence of food allergies among children younger than ages 14 years in a Beijing urban region", published in the journal Allergy & Asthma Proceedings, in January 2019, the total prevalence of probable food allergies in children aged less than 14 years of age in the Beijing urban area was 3.2%. Unfortunately, not everyone who suffers from allergies is aware of their condition or the treatments available to them. For this reason, it is important to seek proper allergy diagnostic and treatment as soon as possible in order to prevent the conditions that can lead to further complications if left untreated. To accurately assess whether or not you have a food allergy, your physician will likely: * Ask you a series of questions designed to determine your sensitivities * Perform a full physical exam * Have you maintained a detailed diary of previous symptoms and potential triggers * Have blood tests performed * Have skin tests performed * You might even be required to take a blood test for confirmation Once you know you do have allergies, your medical professional will then be able to correctly diagnose them. If your symptoms are consistent with food allergies, doctors will most likely recommend an avoidance diet in order to prevent further food allergies or other reactions. They may also prescribe daily pills to control your symptoms or provide an antihistamine to help reduce your histamine production.

Primary biliary cholangitis, also known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is an autoimmune disease of the liver. The auto-immune disorder can have a number of symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, liver tenderness or enlargement, jaundice, and ascites. In most of these symptoms, the patient may be experiencing inflammation at an early stage of the illness, although in some cases, symptoms do not appear until the disease has advanced to a more serious state. A definitive diagnosis can only be made by performing blood tests and ultrasound studies in order to determine the progression of the illness and its effects on the body. At an early stage, most patients who experience mild to moderate symptoms of primary biliary cholangitis exhibit no symptoms, whereas in some cases, symptoms manifest very quickly and rapidly worsen. In both conditions, the majority of affected individuals undergo treatment that is aimed at relieving pain and treating any complications that might occur. High prevalence of primary biliary cholangitis is expected to propel growth of the primary biliary cirrhosis drugs market. For instance, according to the study, 'Epidemiology and clinical course of primary biliary cholangitis in the Asia-Pacific region: a systematic review and meta-analysis', published in Hepatology International in September 2019, the overall prevalence of primary biliary cholangitis was 118.75 cases per million in the Asia Pacific region, with the high, medium and low prevalence being in Japan and China (191.18 cases per million), New Zealand (99.16 cases per million) and South Korea and Australia (39.09 cases per million), respectively.

Endoscopy is a procedure that has been developed to assist in the removal of endometriosis from the human body. Endoscopy is also being used to help in the treatment of gallstones, cholecystitis, and gastric reflux disease among a number of other conditions. The recent developments in this industry have been driven by changes in government regulation and legislation. The increase in the number of malignancies and the introduction of fiscal policy in the region has resulted in political will on the part of the governments to strengthen public health services. Rising product approval for endoscopy devices by regulatory authorities is expected to drive growth of the global endoscopic stricture management device market during the forecast period. For instance, in January 2020, Pentax Medical received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its Imagina Endoscopy System, which will be used in performing gastrointestinal procedures, digital image enhancement system with Pentax i-Scan. This endoscopy machine is equipped with an LED touch-screen interface, which removes the need for periodic bulb replacement. Besides, it is far more cost-efficient than the GI endoscopy system such as video endoscopy. Thus. These factors are expected to drive growth of the global endoscopic stricture management device market during the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing incidence of bleeding during surgical procedures combined with growing number of endoscopic procedures is expected to boost the global endoscopic stricture management device market growth over the forecast period. However, the lack of skilled healthcare professionals to perform surgical procedures, especially in emerging economies combined with complications related to endoscopic procedures such as bleeding and infection is expected to hamper the global endoscopic stricture management device market growth over the forecast period.

The process of sterilization and disinfection has always been crucial in maintaining optimum hygiene in any given setting. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the importance of these processes. Sterilization refers to any process that removes, eradicates, or kills all forms of life particularly, fungi, bacteria, viruses, spores, etc. Sterilization equipment and disinfectants are crucial in modern medical care as patients come in contact with syringes, surgical tools, and bandages all time. These medical devices eliminate any foreign particles, pus, blood, and dirt left behind that could create complications for the next patient requiring surgery. Besides, it decreases bioburden and prevents corrosion of expensive and highly precise tools. There are different sterilization processes performed including steam sterilizing, flash sterilizing, low-temperature sterilizing, hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, ethylene oxide gas sterilization, peracetic acid sterilization, etc. Many regulatory authorities have issued guidelines on how to sterilize medical equipment. The hospitals refer to it as a germ warfare strategy and it is done in a specific order. The first step is cleaning followed by disinfection which involves using liquid chemicals to kill non-spore-forming bacteria. The final step is sterilizing where several methods are employed to kill disease-causing microorganisms and also eradicate transmissible agents such as spores and bacteria.

Drug delivery means different methods, approaches, technologies, formulations, and systems for transporting a pharmaceutical compound in the body to achieve desired therapeutic effects. There are different types of drug delivery including intravenous injectable, inhalation, or absorption. The injectable drug delivery is considered the most effective route of administration for the effective delivery of drugs to the targeted sites. This enhances the patient's compliance with the drug. This method of drug delivery boosts the drug adsorption from various sites including intravenous, subcutaneous, and intramuscular. Moreover, it increases the bioavailability of the drug at the systematic circulation of the drug at the designated site of action. The challenges of administering an injectable drug to an area are unique and complex. It is common practice to inject a small amount of a drug into the skin of a subject in order to administer a larger dose. However, many complications could occur if too much of a drug is injected at once. Since most of these systems are designed to administer large amounts over a long period of time, multiple injections could cause serious health problems, such as infection and damage to vital organs. The future injectable drug delivery will require the development of new methods for delivering medications, and the creation of new products that provide a safer, more effective environment for the delivery process.
