Overview: Final regulations for the new HIPAA Breach Notification Rule require much more than notifying individuals affected by a Breach of their Protected Health Information (PHI). Covered Entities and Business Associates first must follow and document a very specific process to determine if a Breach occurred. If no Breach occurred documentary proof must be kept for six years. If a Breach did occur timely notifications and other actions must be undertaken and documented. This webinar will explain: What Covered Entities and Business Associates must do to comply with the Breach Notification Rule What is and is not a Breach Three exceptions - when an acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of PHI not permitted by the Privacy Rule is not a Breach How to perform a Breach Risk Assessment to determine if you can demonstrate a a low probability that the PHI was compromised Who must be notified in case of a Breach When notifications must be provided What information must be contained in each notification Other requirements in case of a Breach Investigate Mitigate harm to affected individuals Protect against further Breaches Document everything Planning and preparation for the worst - public relations and mitigation strategies to limit damage to the organization's reputation and financial well-being Why should you attend: Breaches and incidents that might be Breaches happen all the time! More than 173,000 separate breaches of Protected Health Information (PHI) affecting less than 500 individuals were reported to the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) between September, 2009 and May 31, 2015 and in the same period HHS received approximately 1240 reports of PHI breaches that affected 500 or more individuals An acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of PHI not permitted by the Privacy Rule is presumed to be a Breach unless it falls within an exception or the Covered Entity or Business Associate can demonstrate a low probability that the PHI was compromi

Construction Safety Orientation Construction Safety Orientation is part of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)'s safety initiatives for those employed in the construction industry. Construction Safety Orientation is offered to employers and employees in the construction industry by OSHA or its authorized trainers. Construction Safety Orientation is offered as either a 10-hour or 30-hour course to employees by OSHA-authorized trainers. The aim of the Construction Safety Orientation training is provide training to employees and employers in this industry to help them recognize, abate, avoid, and prevent injuries in the workplace. In addition, Construction Safety Orientation also involves providing training to the employees and employers about their rights and duties at the workplace. s Outreach Training Program is voluntary There are two reasons for OSHA recommends Construction Safety Orientation: OSHA's Outreach Training Program is voluntary; OSHA's Outreach Training Program, being basic, does not provide the full training requirements that the employer has to meet under set OSHA standards. Because of this reason, OSHA's Outreach Training Program is not considered a certification. The need for Construction Safety Orientation The sheer size of the American construction industry is the best reason for the need for Construction Safety Orientation: A little over two percent of the entire American population - something like 6.5 million people are engaged in the construction industry at more than a quarter of a million construction sites across the nation. This perhaps gives some perspective of the magnitude of the tendency for injuries and deaths in this industry. In fact, it is known that construction accounts for the highest rate of fatal injuries among all industries in the US. In a construction workplace, workers could be prone to almost any kind of injury or hazard. According to osha.gov, the most common reasons include: Falls (from heights);

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. Cerebral palsy primarily affects body movement and muscle coordination. Though cerebral palsy can be defined, having cerebral palsy does not define the person that has the condition.Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects thousands of babies and children each year. It is not contagious, which means can't catch it from anyone who has it. The word cerebral means having to do with the brain. The word palsy means a weakness or problem in the way a person moves or positions his or her body. Cerebral palsy is a common complication of very premature birth. The condition is a type of brain injury that causes problems with motor function. It's been a baffling disorder for doctors because of confusion over what causes the brain injury.

However, the type of movement dysfunction, the location and number of limbs involved, as well as the extent of impairment, will vary from one individual to another. It can affect arms, legs, and even the face; it can affect one limb, several, or all. Cerebral palsy affects muscles and a person's ability to control them. Muscles can contract too much, too little, or all at the same time. Limbs can be stiff and forced into painful, awkward positions. Fluctuating muscle contractions can make limbs tremble, shake, or writhe. Balance, postur

Overview: Today's diverse, fast-changing, multidisciplinary mental health care environment involves many mental health care professionals who work together for the common goal of the patient. This includes physicians/psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, psychologists, and others. Nothing in health care is more fractured than in mental health among a multitude of mental health practitioners. Like physicians/psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses, psychologists as health care practitioners obtained an education, passed applicable examinations, completed professional training, and hold a license to practice their chosen profession of psychology, often by being educated and trained at the doctoral level. The license to practice is issued by the state agency which has exclusive jurisdiction over this health care practitioner. Thereafter, the state's authority and power over the psychologist often presents challenges to that professional that are not easy to navigate. Their governing state agency routinely handles, investigates, and dismisses- or prosecutes - alleged violations of law that can be career ending for the psychologist if pursued. But that process takes time with many steps necessary for due process of law. One of the ultimate actions the state may take is to issue a suspension or revocation of the psychologist's professional license. Yet many state actions fall short of such drastic outcomes, but still have serious, permanent consequences for the psychologist as a licensed health care professional. Learn to identify the legal authority for state agencies to regulate the practice of psychology. Seek to understand and defend against state actions which may result in ruinous practice and career consequences for the health care professional. This program offers an objective, thorough review of the ethical and legal violations committed by psychologists. This program also reviews defenses with practice tips to defend successfully those common violations. Otherwis

A gynecological device is a medical device that is used to promote female health or to protect and preserve reproductive health for females. This is a very broad category and includes products such as watches, calculators, bandages, and hygienic towels. While many of these products have been clinically tested and found to be safe for female health, there are still a few devices in the market that pose threats to female reproductive health. Gynecological devices usually fall into three categories: medical devices, biological safety devices, and mechanical devices. Medical devices are those that prevent the risk of injury or trauma to a woman's reproductive organs from medical interventions. Biologic safety devices are those that protect a female's health by promoting female reproductive health. Finally, mechanical devices are those that help maintain a woman's reproductive health and allow her to achieve or reach their desired fertility or pregnancy. The use of any of these unsupervised or unsafe medical procedures poses a risk to a woman's reproductive health and should be avoided at all costs. The main factors driving the growth of the gynecological devices market are the rapid increase of gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and vaginitis and the introduction of new innovative gynecological devices in the market. For instance, according to the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information, approximately 97 per 1000 women suffer from gynecological diseases in the U.S., among which approximately 53 per 1000 women suffer from menstrual disorders. Rising awareness about gynecological health and preventive check-up to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is expected to boost the market growth. Moreover soaring numbers of surgical procedures such as female sterilization, endoscopy, laparoscopy, and ablation are driving the demand for gynecological devices. However strict regulatory orders by governmental bodies across the globe rel

Biosimilars, also known as biologic products, are currently the fastest growing category of medical products in the United States, with sales estimated at more than $40 billion dollars annually. When prescribed by doctors, these products may provide more effective treatment options for patients suffering from a chronic disease or condition. In late August, the FDA held a forum on biosimilars. The topic was "biosimilar medications - what are they, how do they work, and are they safe and effective." Representatives from the FDA, pharmaceutical companies, and biotechnology organizations attended the forum. The forum included individuals who are leading the charge to register biosimilar products for clinical trials. According to the FDA, the agency will begin accepting applications for biologic drugs in late fall of 2020. In Japan, various manufacturers are focused on developing pipelines that contain biosimilar candidates aimed at treating various therapeutic conditions for patients in Japan. For instance, in December 2020, Alvotech and Japanese pharmaceutical company Fuji Pharma agreed on an extension on their exclusive strategic partnership for the commercialization of four biosimilar medicines in Japan.

Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-uhl) virus, or RSV, is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. In the U.S., RSV infections generally occur during fall, winter, and spring. Treatment for respiratory syncytial virus usually involves self-care steps to help make your child relaxed (supportive care) along with medication, if needed (acute care). But if severe symptoms appear, hospital treatment may also be necessary. Symptoms of the virus include, runny nose and cough, difficulty breathing, wheezing, fever, sore throat, headache, swelling of face and lips, and red spots on the mouth and tongue. Left untreated, your child's condition may develop into complicated pneumonia, acute congestive heart failure or sudden infant death. Respiratory syncytial virus diagnostics may include, a simple test that can detect early symptoms, so you can provide the appropriate treatment as soon as possible. If you have any symptoms of upper respiratory infection or strep throat, you should see your doctor. The doctor will test your upper respiratory infection or strep throat for viruses such as parainfluenza, rhizopenia and streptococcus. In some cases, your doctor will also order laboratory tests in order to get an accurate diagnosis.
