Setting up a compliance program in healthcare: Organizations that set up a compliance program in healthcare should go by many voluntary regulations from the OIG, apart from those mandated by HIPAA. Setting up a compliance program in healthcare is about being compliant with standards. This entails having to be compliant with several standards, which cover a wide variety of areas. There are several voluntary and mandatory guidelines from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), apart from standards from HIPAA. Setting up a compliance program in healthcare meeting HIPAA requirements is set out and mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Guidelines from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) The series of compliance program guidance documents from the OIG are largely voluntary, and are meant for the different sections of the health care industry. These include Hospitals Nursing homes Third-party billers, and Durable medical equipment suppliers. These guidelines are issued with the intention of motivating healthcare units to develop and use their own internal controls aimed at helping them adhere to regulations, program requirements and statutes. The OIG issues documents, which act as guidelines for setting up a compliance program in healthcare by providing principles. These need to be adapted when healthcare organizations have to develop their own compliance program that is in tune with their best interests and needs. Another major aim is served in the implementation of these guidelines for setting up a compliance program in healthcare: They help healthcare units to understand the nature of fraud and other risks associated with abuse, when they are setting up a compliance program for their healthcare unit. HIPAA requirements Setting up a compliance program in healthcare while being compliant with HIPAA regulationsrequires a healthcare organization to put in place measures that ensure that health records must: Be confident

Overview: This webinar will cover everything that you need to know about how to handle HIPAA security incidents, breaches, and complaints and the Department of Health and Human Resources Investigations thereof. Not all security incidents are breaches, but all breaches of confidentiality are within the broad ambit of security incidents. Privacy rule violations, such as failing to give a patient a copy of his or her medical records, may also constitute a breach as the $4.2 million fine assessed against Cignet Healthcare of Prince George's County, Maryland, dramatically proved. Handling an investigation properly is key to determining not only how to handle it to mitigate any harm and to take action to prevent it from happening again but also to determine whether it is reportable to affected individuals and to DHHS. HIPAA requires a complaint procedure (policy). The webinar will suggest what such a document should contain as it also will for the required report procedure (what is reportable, who reports, to whom, and required/suggested contents of the report) and the required response procedure (what do the responsible officials do after receiving the report or the complaint). Investigating a possible security incident is key. The webinar will cover how to conduct a thorough investigation of HIPAA security incidents, breaches, and patient complaints. Finally, the second largest HIPAA civil money penalty or settlement, $4.2 million, was in large part due to the offender's failure to cooperate with the DHHS investigation. The presenter has successfully defended his clients in seven such investigations and knows how to respond to them to avoid or minimize liability. Think of a gap analysis as an examination of: What you currently have in place for HIPAA compliance. Is that adequate? Can it be done better? Is it enough? And what am I missing? Asking these questions will help establish the direction and next steps to take. It lays the ground work for a good Risk Analy

HIPAA Survival Guide: The HIPAA Survival Guide is a set of practical help guides that seek to make compliance with HIPAA and HITECH easy for providers. This kit is some kind of checklist on what to keep in mind and implement to survive a HIPAA audit. The HIPAA Survival Guide was created as a need to comply with the HIPAA audit requirements. It evolved as a response to simplifying the HIPAA Privacy Rule and HIPAA Security Rule without its legal complexity. In other words, the framers of this Guide have developed this concept strictly as a guide, rather than as a legally enforceable set of rules. "Forest from the trees" approach: The HIPAA Survival Guide came into being in order to help users understand HIPAA and HITECH better. The approach the developers of this Guide adapted was what was called the "forest from the trees" way, because the aim was to help users navigate and wade through the complex text. It was aimed at helping them chaff and finesse the parts that required their compliance into simple terms. HIPAA Survival Guide is thus not a strict, legislative Act that lays down rules for conformity. No wonder, it was developed by the joint efforts of a Registered Nurse and an Attorney, who wanted to facilitate a greater understanding of the legislation's audit requirements. The basis on which this Guide came into existence was the HIPAA and HITECH background. It concerns itself with only the part of HIPAA and HITECH relating to a part of Covered Entities, namely providers. This is deliberate, since the aim of this Guide is to help small providers with guidelines aimed at simplifying their task. Important steps for HIPAA survival: The fundamental goal of the HIPAA Survival Guide is to equip providers with the knowledge of what needs to be kept in order and fine-tuned if they have to meet regulatory requirements. These are the thumb rules for the HIPAA Survival Guide: Documenting the provider's privacy, security and breach policies and revie

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);

Basics of the Anti-Kickback Statute : The Anti-Kickback Statute is aimed at curbing abuse and fraud in the Medicare and Medicaid systems by professionals who offer services and benefit in direct or indirect ways. In order to protect Medicare and Medicaid patients, as well as federal health care programs from abuse and fraud; the Anti-Kickback Statute was enacted. The core act that the Anti-Kickback Statute considered as fraud and abuse is the unlawful acceptance or diversion of money into influencing medical decision-making. The Anti-Kickback Statute is very clear on this. It states that anyone in the healthcare industry, who consciously and deliberately accepts a fee or remuneration of any kind or offers the same with the intention of manipulating the course of a medical decision-making, is liable to punishment. What acts attract penalties? Acts of various kinds attract penalties under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Some of these include: Carrying out advertising or marketing activities for promoting the brand of health care providers Participating in affiliate programs or pay per click commissions Working out promotion agreements with multiple companies Taking part in sponsorships Working out strategic alliances with healthcare providers Licensing content or technology Selling a healthcare provider's brands of products or services Taking a cut in the advertising revenue The nature of penalties under the Anti-Kickback Statute The Anti-Kickback Statute states major penalties for acts it prohibits. The Anti-Kickback Statute prescribes these major penalties: Up to five years in prison This has the potential to attract additional monetary fines of up to $25,000 Administrative civil money penalties that can go up to $50,000 In addition, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) could initiate administrative proceedings and take steps aimed at prohibiting anyone convicted of an Anti-Kickback violation from participating in State and federal programs. The OIG could also impose

A Hospital Incident Command System is a wonderfully effective system for handing disasters and emergency situations: A Hospital Incident Command System is an absolute must for hospitals when they have to carry out unforeseen emergencies. Having a process-oriented Hospital Incident Command System is an effective tool for dealing with situations and saving lives. A Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) is a standardized process that helps hospitals deal with emergencies, natural or manmade. HICS is common across hospitals in the US and have common terminology and organizational structure. It is a single system that all hospitals have to use. Since emergencies can happen at any time and can be of any gravity; it is imperative for physicians to have a command of how to deal with emergencies by understanding the Hospital Incident Command System and its role in disaster situations. HICS goes beyond patient care. Physicians and other staff need to both have access to disaster-specific and related information to the Hospital Incident Command System, as well as know how to handle it, in order to bring about an effective response and augment an existing one. Advantage of having a Hospital Incident Command System The biggest advantage of having a Hospital Incident Command System is that its practices and processes are similar to those used by external agencies in times of emergency. This makes sharing incident command systems that much more effective and easier to coordinate, and facilitates information flow. Features of a Hospital Incident Command System A Hospital Incident Command System provides a flexible reporting structure with defined roles and responsibilities It sets up and facilitates communication flow and documentation protocol It provides the hospital operations a concrete strategic direction-oriented support by leveraging and optimizing additional resources such as staff and equipment, so that these are used where they are needed the most.

A Pediatric Wheelchair is a very important piece of mobility equipment for any patient. There are many instances where a patient would find himself in need of one, no just in cases of long-term disability. Upon admittance and discharge from the hospital, a patient is wheeled around. Those with temporary hurts to their lower extremities will also need a Pediatric Wheelchair for a short time. No matter the reasons for needing a Pediatric Wheelchair, many will find themselves looking for the right one for themselves, their patients, or for their medical care facility. For a pediatrician seeking to prescribe a Pediatric Wheelchair, must be sure that the patient has the proper upper body strength to use one. If the patient is too weak for self movement, the practitioner would be better to consider a powered wheelchair for mobility. While Pediatric Wheelchairs are smaller and can be just as manuverable as scooters, that depends upon the patient's own abilities in steering the chair. These are factors that the doctor must think about before recommending what type of wheelchair a patient should get.

Clinical information: Clinical informatics is the new exciting kid on the block. With the right mix of aptitude and attitude, professionals can look forward to many opportunities and challenges in the field. An understanding of the coining of the term "clinical informatics" gives an idea of what it is. Clinical informatics is a combination of two words, "clinical" and "informatics". Together, these relate to the knowledge of how information technology works in the healthcare sector. It is very important for clinicians to understand the functioning of IT into its domain, because with the advent of IT; there has been a major need to integrate clinical practices with it. A clinician who understands the way IT impacts the workings on in her industry is a better equipped professional when it comes to handling IT-related issues in the clinical setting. A clinical informatics professional should have a clear idea of the following approaches to IT: Analysis Design Implementation Assessment of information and communication that enhance the quality of clinical informatics Single approach to multiple health areas: One important element that needs to be understood about clinical informatics is that given the scope and breadth of the area of clinical informatics; professionals from any discipline of health -be it pathology, pharmacy, dentistry, radiology, dermatology, etc. -apply the same principles of clinical informatics to optimize the use of IT in healthcare. This requires constant coordination and cooperation with professionals and practitioners of all these areas. Clinical informatics is thus an area which is interspersed with all these other specializations and can be used and applied in any of these areas. What should a clinical informatics professional ensure? The aim of clinical informatics is to use this discipline to coordinate with nearly all the areas of medicine to provide optimal outcomes in patient care that delivers and ens
