The document discusses several key rules and regulations regarding patient privacy and health information confidentiality:
The HIPAA Security Rule establishes national standards for protecting electronic personal health information. The Breach Notification Rule requires notification if unsecured health information is breached. The Patient Safety Rule protects identifiable information used for patient safety event analysis and improvement.
The document also discusses patients' rights to access and request amendments to their health information, as well as providers' responsibilities to maintain privacy and only disclose information as required by law or for treatment purposes. Providers must safeguard confidentiality and are prohibited from accessing records without authorization.
Maintaining patient confidentiality
The document discusses a breach of patient confidentiality at UCLA Medical Center where employees illegally accessed and viewed patient health records between 2004 and 2006. As a result, the hospital failed to properly train staff on HIPAA guidelines to protect patient privacy. Going forward, the hospital needs to implement new training protocols for all current and new staff on HIPAA regulations to prevent similar violations and ensure patient information remains private.
Patient Privacy Training
The document discusses issues with patient privacy violations in hospitals and proposes training to address the problem. It describes a study that examined teaching patient privacy and ethics in the UK. The proposed training would include defining privacy, dignity and respect; exploring best practices; and developing individual action plans. Training modules would cover HIPAA rules, self-evaluation from the patient's perspective, company ethics, IT security, and testing of competency. The goal is to educate employees and prevent future privacy violations and HIPAA fines.
HIPPA and EMR Core Education Training
HIPAA requires organizations to implement risk analysis programs and security measures to protect private health information. EMRs were established to improve communication, safety, and privacy by providing a structured system for sharing patient health records electronically. Training on HIPAA and EMR confidentiality is required for all healthcare staff through methods like in-person classes, online courses, and publications to prevent breaches like unauthorized access or disclosure of protected patient information like names, dates of birth, medical histories, and contact details. Violations can result in legal penalties, lost credibility, and disciplinary action for individuals up to termination.

The document discusses HIPAA training requirements for healthcare providers and staff. It explains that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted in 1996 to establish privacy standards for protected health information (PHI) and requires covered entities like healthcare providers to provide annual HIPAA training and certification to their workforce. Unauthorized disclosure of PHI is considered a HIPAA violation which can result in civil penalties such as fines or criminal penalties like imprisonment depending on the nature and intent of the violation.

HIPAA compliance requirements took effect in 2003, applying to covered entities like health plans, providers, and businesses with access to protected health information. Covered entities must implement policies governing access to and handling of personal health information.
MHA 690 week 2 discussin
This document discusses patient confidentiality and protected health information (PHI). It defines confidentiality as limiting how, when, and with whom patient health information can be shared, usually requiring patient permission. PHI includes any identifiable patient information in written, verbal, or electronic form. Laws like HIPAA prohibit unauthorized access, use, and distribution of private medical records. The document outlines tips for safeguarding PHI, such as not leaving computers unlocked with patient files open, and only sharing information with authorized individuals approved by the patient. Violating privacy laws can result in fines and criminal prosecution.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Editor's Notes
- All patients have the right to confidentiality and protection of their personal health information (PHI). In the article by Fox News (2008), many celebrities at UCLA Medical Center had their PHI breached over the course of about 4 years, due to the lack of measures and safeguards the organization had in place to prevent this. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 established legal mechanisms to ensure a patient’s medical identity and PHI remains private and secure (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2018). Healthcare providers have a legal and ethical obligation to ensure security requirements are in place for this purpose and patients deserve to have trust and confidence in their medical team.
- Healthcare organizations (HCOs) and all healthcare professionals must understand, implement, and practice appropriate safeguards and to ensure their patient’s PHI is secure (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2017). There are many ways to accomplish this. As a healthcare leader, I would ensure all staff members have read and understand our HCO’s relevant policies and procedures upon hire and and I would provide annual or semi-annual mandatory education regarding HIPAA laws and how it’s applied within our organization. Frequent leader rounding and huddles regarding safe practice is helpful to support hard-wiring the expectation and importance of these measure. It’s very important that physical and technical safeguards be in place such as screen covers for computer monitors, password-protected log-ins, and security software. Another valuable assets to an HCO is a compliance officer and a comprehensive compliance program that supports continual employee education and support. These measure are a crucial part of the overall security program for an HCO.
- The impact can be devastating to an individual whose PHI is mishandled or breached in any way. It can lead to mental and emotional damage to the individual and can also precipitate huge legal challenges and reputation damage in the public’s eyes. As a healthcare leader, it’s my responsibility to ensure all team members understand and comply with the rules and regulations of HIPAA and that they are well-versed in our organization’s privacy and security policies and procedures. In the digital age we live in today, this is imperative and must be a continual part of an HCO’s education plans.
