Overview: The webinar will concentrate on topics that HHS has announced will be the focus of the first round of "desk audits". They reflect significant areas of non-compliance revealed in the 2012 pilot audits and HHS HIPAA violation investigations concluded by Resolution Agreements and Corrective Action Plans. They include: HIPAA Risk Analysis Risk Management based on Risk Analysis Breach Notification Notice of Privacy Practices (for Covered Entities) Minimum Necessary Standard Access of Individuals to their PHI Authorizations Workforce Training This webinar is vital because, in focusing on preparation for a HIPAA Compliance Audit, Covered Entities and Business Associates may review, prioritize and structure their HIPAA Compliance programs. If you have HIPAA Compliance documentation ready to submit on two weeks notice to HHS you are implementing an effective HIPAA Compliance program. In addition, every Covered Entity or Business Associate may face an HHS HIPAA Compliance investigation at any time due to a complaint or a Breach. If you are "audit ready" you will be ready for an investigation - and better able to avoid complaints and prevent breaches. Why should you attend: Every Covered Entity and Business Associate is liable - without prior notice - to be audited for HIPAA Compliance by HHS You will have only 2 weeks after receiving your HIPAA Compliance Audit notification and data request to upload all requested documents to an HHS HIPAA Compliance Audit Portal The HIPAA Compliance Audit data request you receive will specify content and file organization, file names and any other document submission requirements Auditors will not contact an audited entity for clarifications or ask for additional information - it is essential that submitted documents are current, accurately reflect the entity's HIPAA Compliance program and demonstrate HIPAA Compliance Only data submitted on time will be assessed Failure to respond on time may be referred to the HHS regional

Clinical Risk Management Lies at the Heart of Patient Safety : Clinical Risk Management is the process of identifying and mitigating risks in a healthcare setting. Risks are inherent in a clinical or healthcare practice, as they are in any other activity. But the field of healthcare has to be doubly wary of risk management because an adverse risk can cause irreparable loss if it leads to an event such as death. To a healthcare organization or practice, a bad event can harm the name beyond repair. How is risk identified? The first step to implementing a Clinical Risk Management is identifying the risks in the practice. This can be done in a number of ways: Why do healthcare providers need to implement a Clinical Risk Management strategy? Healthcare providers need to put in place a very sound Clinical Risk Management strategy for a number of reasons: Steps to putting a good Clinical Risk Management program in place A healthcare organization can put an effective Clinical Risk Management in place through a four-step process: Click Here for More Information: http://bit.ly/1OcHFXm

HIPAA Enforcement trends : Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a legislation of the American Congress. HIPAA enforcement consists of taking steps to confirm that rules set out in HIPAA are being complied with by the requisite entities. Primarily passed with the intention of ensuring that employees do not lose their health insurance benefits when they change or leave their current jobs; this 1996 law also has the protection and security of Protected Health Information (PHI) as one of its chief aims. The Office of Civil Rights (OCR), which enforces actions relating to HIPAA, imposes harsh penalties on healthcare organizations and Business Associates and Covered Entities that are proven to be in noncompliance of HIPAA requirements. What are HIPAA enforcement actions? The actions that the OCR takes to ensure implementation of HIPAA provisions constitute the essence of HIPAA enforcement actions. There are a good number of areas which the OCR can cite as constituting cases of HIPAA violations or noncompliance. A look at recent HIPAA enforcement actions point to a trend. These trends serve as an indicator of what to expect from HIPAA enforcement actions, which will help entities get some idea of what they should implement and what they should not and thus prevent being cited by the OCR. Security risk assessments are the foremost element of HIPAA enforcement actions: A look at recent trends suggests that HIPAA enforcement actions mainly target security risk assessments. This leads to harsh penalties, as happened in the case of New York-Presbyterian Hospital (NYP). The hefty $ 4.8 million penalty slapped in 2014 on this hospital was for data breach caused by insufficient security risk assessment. While this is the biggest sum fined; the OCR issued at least three other hospitals for putting in place inadequate security risk assessments in 2014. Risk management comes a close second: If inadequate security risk assessments come first in te

The medical profession is very noble if we look at it from a patient's perspective. If we look at it from a student's viewpoint, it requires a lot of hard work. However, we are here to discuss how medical professionals look at their jobs and what keeps their clock ticking! Why they do what they do? I will share with you the reasons behind their everyday motivation.

We associate blockchain with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin which isn't wrong. However, blockchain is a database management system which works systematically saving data sequentially and openly. The information is available to the public following that network. Moreover, you will hear the word "digital ledger" when it comes to blockchain technology. "It means it is a shared record keeping system in which peer-to-peer transactions occur and are saved in the form of blocks."

Adenovirus diagnostic testing is the most widely used method for determining the presence of adenoviruses in a culture of healthy volunteers and is adapted from the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method: a procedure by which DNA strands are broken down into smaller pieces, and then are subjected to amplification reactions with adenoviruses. Because adenoviruses do not copy themselves but rather undergo multiple copied copies during viral replication, several different sequences of adenoviruses will be identified by PCRs. If a suitable sequence is detected, it will be amplified and the resulting product isolated. In the case of patients suspected of having adenovirus, the adenovirus diagnostic testing is done by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that can be performed on the patients' blood samples. Adenoviruses that have been identified by PCR will be identified by the confirmation of specific antibodies against the virus. These specific antibodies will react against the viral copies on the strain of adenovirus in the blood samples and will provide an accurate diagnosis. Patients with suspected AD may be asked to undergo EVGI or MBO testing, both of which will confirm the diagnosis. Besides, EVGI will also provide results regarding the presence of a retrovirus in the patients' lymph nodes, and MBO testing will provide conclusive proof that the patients carry the retrovirus. The main factor driving the adenovirus diagnostic testing market is the growth of the treatment monitoring and diagnostic sector. For instance, according to Policynet, in 2018 the global healthcare sector generated a revenue of approximately US$ 1.853 trillion. Additionally, the expansion of the healthcare sectors in the emerging economies is expected to propel the market growth of adenovirus diagnostic testing.
