Assignment 1: Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care System Administration
Due Week 3 and worth 200 points
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators must potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they be aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
Nearly 65 million surgical operations were performed in 2015 in the U.S. resulting in an estimated 200,000 deaths from complications or other post-operative issues (Ghaferi, Myers, Sutcliffe, & Pronovost, 2016). Ongoing innovation in healthcare can improve patient outcomes. According to the Harvard Business Review article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer, over the past several decades, there have been three distinct waves of surgical improvement: technical advancements, standardizing procedures, and high reliability organizing.
Assume the role of a top health administrator at We Care Hospital. You are interested in propelling the hospital to the next level by applying for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. However, you want to ensure surgical outcomes for patient morbidity and mortality rates. You begin by researching the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) aimed to improve adherence to quality protocols. You need to ensure the hospital policy is consistent with the law and that the hospital is correctly reporting Sentinel Events to the Joint Commission, a hospital regulatory agency.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Analyze how standardizing procedures and documenting steps can improve outcomes when performing a complex procedure. Review the peer-reviewed journal article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer. Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct and negligence in SCIP quality guidelines.
2. High Reliability Organizing emphasizes the varying actions that can affect patient safety given that standardized systems ignore the fact that each patient is different. Ascertain the major ramifications when the health care team “fails to rescue” the patient. Identify what hospital policies should be in place and identify previous case laws.
3. Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.

It covers regulatory compliance with HIPAA, the meaningful use program, impacts of the local healthcare environment, best practices for system implementation, managing organizational change, and aligning clinical and business workflows with the new system. Maintaining privacy of sensitive patient information while meeting regulatory requirements is emphasized.
HIPAA Privacy & Security
The document discusses the requirements of HIPAA for protecting patient privacy and securing their health information, including mandates for training and documentation, increased penalties for violations, and rights for patients to access electronic health records; it also outlines the entities covered by HIPAA, defines protected health information, and reviews standards for its use and disclosure for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations.
Hipaa omnibus
The document discusses the HIPAA Omnibus Rule which strengthens privacy and security protection of personal health information and requires compliance by September 2013. It outlines key aspects of the Rule such as its goals to address electronic health records, requirements for covered entities and business associates to protect private health information, and consequences for noncompliance. It also describes how a data loss prevention solution can help organizations meet the new compliance standards by preventing and reporting on improper access to protected health information.
Introduction hippaa
The HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules establish national standards for protecting individuals' personal health information. The Security Rule focuses on safeguarding electronic protected health information by requiring "covered entities" like healthcare providers and health plans to implement technical and non-technical security measures. The goals of the Security Rule are to protect privacy while allowing new technologies, and it is designed to be flexible enough to address the needs of different types and sizes of organizations. This document summarizes but does not replace reviewing the complete Security Rule requirements.
Sample HIPAA Training
This document provides an overview of HIPAA training goals and requirements. It aims to inform staff about patient privacy and confidentiality rules under HIPAA. Key aspects covered include definitions of patient confidentiality and the Privacy and Security Rules. Consequences of HIPAA violations are also outlined, ranging from fines of $100 to $1.5 million per year depending on the violation. The document concludes with sample test questions to assess staff understanding of HIPAA guidelines.
Confidentiality Training
This document provides an overview of a confidentiality training. It defines key terms like HIPAA, covered entities, and protected health information. It explains laws around patient privacy and confidentiality, including the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. The training discusses protecting patient data, appropriate uses of technology, and reporting privacy violations. Maintaining patient confidentiality is important for ethical and legal compliance as well as patient satisfaction.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Confidentiality
- 1. Confidentiality Michelle R. Grate MHA 690 Dr. Martha Jennings May 1, 2014
- 3. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), was signed into law on August 21, 1996 and went into effect in April 2003. HIPAA requires all health care providers to have patient consent for access to their medical records or information.
- 4. Regulatory Compliance has to do with policies and procedures that are used to make sure laws, rules, and regulation that direct hospitals are followed or complied with. This also includes all staff are aware of, properly trained, and comply with appropriate laws and regulations such as following the HIPAA compliance regulations.
- 5. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), JCAHO, state laws, HIPAA, and EMTALA are just some of the examples of regulatory requirement and standards that health care agencies must be in compliance with. With Medicare conditions of practice, certain conditions must be met by the hospital in order for them to participate with the program.
- 6. The risk management area is another important entity that should make sure and monitor that hospitals are in compliance with HIPAA regulations. HIPPA and confidentiality of patient information also hits the back office of organizations and medical facilities, because most claims today are submitted electronically to payers and must now be consistent with HIPAA provisions that direct electronic data interchange submissions appropriately.
- 7. HIPAA has established patients’ rights related to access, authorization, and release of medical records and must be made available to patients by healthcare entities. Most institutions have this readily available for patients and require a signature that the patients understands his/her privacy rights
- 8. Compliance with HIPAA’s privacy and security rulings create a good portion of challenges for electronic health record information systems specialists especially with linking these systems. Many use audit processes to help make sure they are maintaining appropriate security measures.
- 9. Al healthcare organizations and medical facilities should incorporate training for all new employees and re-training and updates for all current employees, in reference to HIPAA rules and regulations and compliance with these regulations. Violations to these regulations should also be discussed and what actions will be taken for any healthcare employee who violates a patients privacy under these guidelines.
- 10. Training can be effective for all employees by utilizing a clear and well defined presentation such a power point or utilizing online modules. With online learning, testing can be included after each module and a certificate printed out after the course is completed with the date. Yearly training utilizing this method allows health care workers to update their knowledge at a time that is convenient for them and gives them flexibility of required learning.
