The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 to provide protections for personal health information. It established rules regarding the use and disclosure of medical records and health information. HIPAA regulates how consumer information can be shared, provides the right to access personal medical records, and enforces penalties for violations. As technology advances, continued challenges around health information security and integrating new regulations will be an ongoing priority to ensure patient privacy is upheld.

Health Information Ownership: Legal
Theories and Policy Implications
Lara Cartwright-Smith, Elizabeth Gray, and Jane Hyatt Thorpe*
ABSTRACT
This Article explores the nature and characteristics of health
information that make it subject to federal and state laws and the existing
legal framework that confers rights and responsibilities with respect to
health information. There are numerous legal and policy considerations
surrounding the question of who owns health information, including
whether and how to confer specific ownership rights to health
information. Ultimately, a legal framework is needed that reflects the
rights of a broad group of stakeholders in the health information
marketplace, from patients to providers to payers, as well as the public’s
interest in appropriate sharing of health information.

What is HIPAA? Why was it passed? What arc the potential benefits to health care

Solution
HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
It was passed in 1996. It does the following:
Provides the ability to transfer and continue health insurance coverage for millions of American
workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs;
Reduces health care fraud and abuse;
Mandates industry-wide standards for health care information on electronic billing and other
processes; and
Requires the protection and confidential handling of protected health information
HIPAA was passed as it gave Congress a way to mandate the establishment of Federal standards
for the privacy of individually identifiable health information. When it comes to personal
information that moves across hospitals, doctors’ offices, insurers or third party payers, and State
lines, our country has relied on a patchwork of Federal and State laws. Under the patchwork of
laws existing prior to adoption of HIPAA and the Privacy Rule, personal health information
could be distributed—without either notice or authorization—for reasons that had nothing to do
with a patient\'s medical treatment or health care reimbursement. For example, unless otherwise
forbidden by State or local law, without the Privacy Rule patient information held by a health
plan could, without the patient’s permission, be passed on to a lender who could then deny the
patient\'s application for a home mortgage or a credit card, or to an employer who could use it in
personnel decisions. The Privacy Rule establishes a Federal floor of safeguards to protect the
confidentiality of medical information. State laws which provide stronger privacy protections
will continue to apply over and above the new Federal privacy standards.
Health care providers have a strong tradition of safeguarding private health information.
However, in today’s world, the old system of paper records in locked filing cabinets is not
enough. With information broadly held and transmitted electronically, the Rule provides clear
standards for the protection of personal health information.
There are many benefits to healthcare organizations for complying with HIPAA standards.
There are huge benefits of reducing paper in health care. There are alo benefits of standardizing
data, especially for the coordination of insurance benefits and payments. Also, this will make
health plan–specific reporting and filing requirements for hospitals and health care providers
unnecessary. Easier to maintain patients\' personal health information in a secure and
confidential manner.
HIPAA privacy rule also has a lot of benefits.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule has helped to create a culture of compliance within many healthcare
organizations. With the ever-changing environment of healthcare regulations, compliance is
imperative. This enabled different organizations to buil.

Affordable Care Act (ACA)
The affordable care act (ACA) policy was signed into law by the previous U.S. President Barack Obama in March of 2010 (HealthIT.gov., n.d.). The policy shares the responsibility of providing access to reasonable and good-quality health insurance by the government to individuals, employers in the United States. It is aimed at improving access and expanding health insurance coverage to all U.S. citizens and combat healthcare spending and costs (Quadagno, 2019). Also, the policy increased accessibility to care and quality care services, which determine the overall health in the U.S. Health insurance companies cannot deny coverage of preexisting conditions and cannot increase premiums based on medical conditions.
Impact of the ACA on System Implementation
After the 2016 open enrollment period, 17.6 million uninsured citizens obtained coverage through ACA; the uninsured rate fell below 10 percent that same year. (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, n.d.). ACA has a significant impact on system implementation, according to industry experts. ACA supports Medicaid expansion. Make healthcare coverage more affordable and fair.

Providing care for people who live on a limited income or have a preexisting condition. Strengthening access to preventive and primary care. Increase healthcare quality at the same time decreasing careless expenses and increasing being accountable (PolicyMedical., n.d.). ACA has provisions that give system implementation a motive to build and enforce new policies that target increased efficiency (Ruffin, 2019). ACA is poised for consistent growth through value-based medications in the presence of evident uncertainty with a gradual repeal of the ACA for many payers in the care sector. Through growth in clinical care and public programs, being strategical in investments in public health (PolicyMedical., n.d.). By collaboration amongst the government, individuals, and employers, Americans can attain universal healthcare.

Protecting Patient Health Information in the HITECH Era
The document discusses how the HITECH Act strengthened enforcement of HIPAA regulations regarding the privacy and security of patient health information. It established much higher penalties for non-compliance in an effort to incentivize healthcare providers to improve practices for protecting electronic personal health records. The HITECH Act also expanded the scope of HIPAA to cover business associates of healthcare organizations and allow state attorneys general to pursue legal action on behalf of individuals affected by privacy or security violations. Overall, the legislation aims to increase adoption of health information technology while maintaining patient trust through more rigorous auditing and enforcement of standards for securing electronic patient data.

1. Government health plans like Medicaid and Medicare are covered by HIPAA privacy rules. Medicaid rules on using and disclosing PHI are more restrictive than HIPAA.
2. Managed care organizations that contract with Medicaid may be considered business associates or participants in an organized health care arrangement with more flexible sharing of PHI.
3. State agencies can disclose PHI to auditors for oversight of providers and health plans as permitted by the privacy rule.

Phoenix Cardiac Surgery paid a $100,000 settlement for publicly posting patients' clinical and surgical appointment information online in violation of HIPAA privacy laws. The HIPAA law of 1996 established standards to protect patient privacy and the confidentiality of health information. My recommendation is for Phoenix Cardiac Surgery to obtain patient consent before providing any confidential information like appointments online and to implement policies to safeguard patient information as required by HIPAA.

Protecting Patient Health Information in the HITECH Era
The document discusses how the HITECH Act strengthened enforcement of HIPAA regulations regarding the privacy and security of patient health information. It established much higher penalties for non-compliance in an effort to incentivize healthcare providers to improve practices for protecting electronic personal health records. The HITECH Act also expanded the scope of HIPAA to cover business associates of healthcare organizations and allow state attorneys general to pursue legal action on behalf of individuals affected by privacy or security violations. Overall, the legislation aims to increase adoption of health information technology while maintaining patient trust through more rigorous auditing and enforcement of standards for securing electronic patient data.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) establishes national standards for electronic health care transactions, national identifiers, and security/privacy rules to protect personal health information. 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.

1. Government health plans like Medicaid and Medicare are covered by HIPAA privacy rules. Medicaid rules on using and disclosing PHI are more restrictive than HIPAA.
2. Managed care organizations that contract with Medicaid may be considered business associates or participants in an organized health care arrangement with more flexible sharing of PHI.
3. State agencies can disclose PHI to auditors for oversight of providers and health plans as permitted by the privacy rule.

This document discusses statutory authority for public health reporting and implications of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule. It provides background on HIPAA and defines key terms. The Privacy Rule permits covered entities to disclose protected health information to public health authorities for public health purposes without individual authorization. This supports critical disease surveillance functions for population benefit, as intended by both reporting laws and the Privacy Rule.

What is HIPAA
The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals' medical records and health information by limiting the use and release of personal health data and giving patients more control, while also allowing for public health responsibilities and enforcement by the Office for Civil Rights with penalties for violations. The rule creates protections for protected health information held by covered entities and business associates from improper use and disclosure, and provides standards for individuals' privacy rights. Reducing HIPAA complaints requires educating employees on HIPAA laws and their impact on both organizations and individuals.

Phoenix Cardiac Surgery paid a $100,000 settlement for publicly posting patients' clinical and surgical appointment information online in violation of HIPAA privacy laws. The HIPAA law of 1996 established standards to protect patient privacy and the confidentiality of health information. My recommendation is for Phoenix Cardiac Surgery to obtain patient consent before providing any confidential information like appointments online and to implement policies to safeguard patient information as required by HIPAA.

GuidelinesPaper is based on one novel , Frankenstein. We ha.docx
Guidelines
Paper is based on one novel ,
Frankenstein
. We have
learned that one element crucial to horror stories is a monster. After reading the
entire novel , you will write a two- to three-page paper analyzing whether Victor Frankenstein or the
creation is the true monster in the novel.
You must pick one. Then state three
reasons/actions why he is the monster.
DO NOT:
o
Claim they are both monsters
o
Claim that neither is
o
Claim that there is no monster because Victor is hallucinating, has
a split personality, is dreaming, etc.
o
Claim that the real monster is abstract/philosophical--narcissism,
society, nature vs. nurture, etc
These are all innovative and great and may make a great essay but that's not
the assignment.
You must make a claim that Victor is the true monster
OR his creation is the true monster and support your claim.
Even though it is your interpretation of who the monster is, when you write
academic essays, you are really asserting a claim and attempting to convince
readers to agree with your stance. To do this effectively, it’s best to create a
more objective tone, pulling back on personal statements and writing in terms of
what Shelley intended and how readers in general perceive/infer the information.
In other words, avoid statements like: “I think the monster is really Victor
Frankenstein.” And use statements like: “After careful analysis of Shelley’s
characters, readers agree that Victor is the true monster of the novel.” Also, a
major pitfall to avoid: Do not claim that the monster is Victor then focus on the
creation in the body of the essay and why the creation is not the monster.
Throughout the semester, I have been posing questions on the Discussion Board
that you have been responsible for. You were then required in some weeks to
respond to a peer’s answers. The purpose of this is to cultivate interaction among
peers as you are working in such solitude when in an online environment.
However, I know that it is hard to routinely read a lot of what your peers have to
say. So this second paper is the one opportunity for you to truly HEAR several
angles of a discussion, much like in a traditional classroom, and assimilate the
opinions of your classmates.
For the essay, after you first come to your own observation about who the true
monster is then read through a handful of each of the four
Frankenstein
discussion threads (Storyline Shift, Victor Frankenstein, The Creation, and
Frankenstein Finale). Find a few posts that support your observation. You do not
need to read through all of the posts for each thread but read through enough to
help inform your selection. Throughout your essay you will need to
include at
least three quotes from two different threads (one per body
paragraph/reason).
These quotes need to support your claim. In other words, if
you claim that Victor is the monster, don’t include a quote by a peer that focuses
on the monster’s compassion. Also, be.

I have been in the classroom for over 12 years, and every day I learn something new. Every day I encounter a new student or discover something new about a student in my class that has been there the whole year. Every encounter is different, every child is different, and not one child thinks the same or learns the same. I discovered this early on in my teaching career, but I am constantly reminded how we cannot take for granted streamlined teaching in the classroom.
Teachers are not the only ones who teach in the classroom, the students in your classroom teach each other and teach you the teacher how to explain something differently and view things differently and reach the same destination to answer the same question correctly. I believe that being an effective teacher one must get to know students on a personal level. Not by reading their folders at the beginning of the year, but by asking open ended questions, listening to how they respond and how they express themselves either verbally or written expression. Teachers need to listen to their students not just hear them and move on, but take the child as a whole and help them reach another level in their education journey.
Special education is more than just accommodations; it is accommodating children to their needs and finding what works for them. Some need verbal cues to know that they are doing well and motivate them to keep working towards success, while others need positive written expression to push them over the hump and work to accomplish their goals. Most children with learning disabilities suffer from low self esteem and act up or become the class clown are constantly in trouble. They become the trouble makers or the ones always in trouble for not completing homework assignments, and because teachers only see this on the surface they push them off to one side of the classroom. What most general education teachers don’t see is how much they are asking for help.
Education should be used to empower every student and every teacher. Being an educator is more than just teaching to a test, it is planting the seed of enjoying the love for learning. We need to remember that we are educating our future.

Improved teaching means teachers were taught to teach on more of a professional level by actual people qualified to teach. Normal schools broadened their curricula to the training of secondary school teachers, requirement of the completion of high school to be admitted to college for teacher training, teachers must have a bachelor’s degree. “High school completion was seldom required for admission, and the majority of instructors did not hold a college degree themselves.” (Diener, 2008). Society has come a long way when it comes to teaching, and who is qualified to teach. Higher education is required more than ever in today’s society, and all of these examples have helped with the success of the way teachers complete their degrees today.
When it comes to teaching in the 21
st
century, full time teachers are required to have a minimum of a four year bachelor’s degree. Technology helps play a role in the success of teachers and students in and out of the classroom. Like the rest of the class we are all completing our degree in an online program. When it comes to teaching in the classroom teachers can use computers and other devices to help children excel, and outside of the classroom, the students can utilize the internet to help them with projects, and even communicate with other students to help with projects.

Teacher training is very important for teachers because they should be able to teach multiple subjects and be qualified in what they are teaching. Strengthening of the normal school curriculum and standards was needed in order for the school system to get better. In the 1900's schools exploded from 50 to almost 350, but with the low academic levels, teacher and students were not able to teach or learn at a college level. Teachers did not have, at this point, a college degree themselves. As the population kept increases and there was a higher demand for education, everyone began to need a high school diploma to be admitted for a college degree.
University enter teacher training: "Teacher training at the college or university level, typically consisted of one or two courses in the "science and art" of teaching, had been offered at a limited number of institutions as early as the 1830s, and the universities had always been institutions for the education of those who taught in the Latin grammar schools, academies, and high schools" (Webb, 2014).
This did not qualify them as teachers when they took these courses, but it did make them becom.

The biggest negative experience that I have had is with a previous employer, and it was my first day as a preschool teacher in a facility nearby. On my first day, I walked into a situation that made a huge impact on the way I viewed this facility. When I started that day, I was told that I would not be in “my classroom” that I would be filling in for a teacher that was out that day. I didn’t have an issue with that fact and was actually up for the challenge. But when I entered the classroom I noticed there were no rules, no structure, no lesson plans and the classroom was complete chaos. I managed to create some spur of the moment lessons and engaged in music as much as possible. Then when it was time for lunch, and I went to serve it, it was pure sugar and very unhealthy. I left for the day feeling defeated, tired, frustrated and stressed and nowhere to turn. I expressed my concerns throughout the day along with a lot of severe health issues to the owner and was brushed off. I care a lot about the children’s safety and their learning environment, and I felt like I was drowning. Needless to say, I ended up moving on from that position because I felt helpless and without a direction to improve anything.
I have had several positive experiences throughout my educational background. The classrooms were always welcoming, warm and inviting and it showed that the teachers cared about their classrooms and their students. Those classrooms made me excited about becoming a teacher and gave me something to work towards in the future.
“The foundation for successful learning and a safe and secure classroom climate is the relationship that teachers develop with their students (Sousa, Tomlinson, 2011)”. The teacher-student relationship is something that should be built on from day one. If the students do not trust or know you, they will feel uneasy and unsafe in the classroom environment. It is so important to form the relationship with your students to ensure communication and safety of your students. Another way to provide a positive learning environment is with your attitude. If you have a positive and fun attitude, it will show through your lessons and your students will enjoy being in your class every day which will affect how they learn. Lastly, the organization is a big key to a positive and stimulating learning environment. If your classroom is packed full of stuff or the students, do not know where materials are it can cause frustrations for you and your students.
I firmly believe there are no stupid questions! I want to ensure my stude.

When preparing for this week’s discussion post I was a little at awe, I personally had never heard of the little rock nine. And I’m not that far from Arkansas. The Little Rock Nine was a group of nine African American students that were enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. However, their enrollment was engaged by the Little Rock Crisis. Which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas. When President Dwight D. Eisenhower done an intervention, the students were then allowed to attend the school. The nine students were Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, Jefferson Thomas, Terrance Roberts, Thelma Mothershed, and Melba Pattillo Beals. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Rock_Nine)
Personally, if I was in the situation that these nine students experienced I would have been lost, afraid, and felt like something was wrong with me. A child of any race should not have to be put in this situation to feel unwanted or that they are unwelcome because they are of a different color. Many times however that is not the case. And this was the case for these nine children. My reaction would have been a sense of sadness, and anger. I don’t believe I would not have made a seen, simply out of fear of being hurt. I would have wanted to stand up for myself as well as my peers of the same color. Nowadays, if the situation would arise that an African American child was not allowed into a while school, yes I would stand up. And voice my opinion. It should not matter the color of a child’s skin. They should be allowed to receive the proper education. Without first having to go through turmoil. This situation I’m sure was emotionally devastating for these nine children. Who simply just wanted to get an education. (Webb. L. D. (2014). History of American education: Voices and perspectives. San Diego, CA: Bridgepoint Education, Inc.)
De facto segregation, I believe does not have a detrimental effect on students nowadays. Some adults that were raised to racial, still are. But if children are taught not to be that way. Then most of the time children learn to except another student of a different minority. Where I live we have a lot of white and minority students. Which none are treated differently. They are all in school for the same reason to get an education. My own personal beliefs are we are all children of God, and just because we are different races, does not mean.

Guided Response:
Respond to at least one classmate that has been assigned a different position from you and offer a rebuttal. Be sure to provide evidence from the literature to support your opposition. Also, respond to your original post and provide your own opinion of inclusion based on the evidence from the research and the responses of your classmates. Did your thinking change after reading your classmates’ viewpoints? Share your concerns about working with students with special needs in the regular classroom.

What is inclusion?
Inclusion is an educational environment in which all students are grouped together in the same classroom regardless of their intelligence level hence the phrase used, “Least Restrictive Environment”. This practice means that an increasing number of regular classroom teachers are called upon to teach exceptional children in regular classrooms, sometimes also termed inclusive classrooms (LeFrançois, G. 2011).
IDEA was established for children with learning disabilities and has been mandated as a part of every educational facility.
As defined by the American Psychological Association, “The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) ensures that all children with disabilities are entitled to a free appropriate public education to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living.”
Not every student learns equally; however, every student should be given the equal opportunity to do so regardless of their learning abilities. With that, inclusion provides an environment where not only students will learn together, but regular students will respect and build friendships with students with learning disabilities. While I never had the change to experience this firsthand, this type of environment will enhance friendships and students helping one another. I think that when a child is included in something, their self confidence improves and they will strive to work harder.
Second, inclusion allows students to understand one another and learn from each other as far as customs and courtesies and attitudes. Students are vulnerable to imitate what they see whether it be good or bad. According to the text, one of the benefits of inclusion is the learning of socially appropriate behaviors by students with disabilities as a result of modeling the behavior of other students.
Lastly, inclusive classrooms provide students with learning disabilities access to general learning like the rest of their peers. They will learn the same information instead of the curriculum being adjusted which may omit valuable information. In this case, these students may be learning information that could be too easy depending on where they stand knowledge wise. For others, the adjustment may hinder learning more challenging information some could be ready for.

- 2. Current Policy: Topic Selection As a team, research and identify a health care policy topic. Review the following choices or obtain approval from your faculty for a different topic. Faculty approval must be obtained at least 3 days in advance of your assignment due date. · Medicare · Medicaid · Health care reform policy [e.g., Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)] · HIPAA · HITECH · Or faculty-approved topic
- 3. Note: As you consider a topic, review the Week Five assignment requirements to ensure the policy selected can be used to satisfy those requirements. Complete the following chart with research your group has identified for the policy selected. Research information that needs to be identified for the policy is listed on the left. Your group will insert research it has found regarding the prompt on the left. To prevent plagiarism, record all information and research in your own words. Policy selected: Research Prompt Information your group identified using the policy selected Siara: Year policy was created Siara: Identify the various stakeholders involved in the creation of this policy. Kara: Select a level of government (federal, state, or local) and discuss the role and function it had in the process of implementing the policy. “The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge” (CDC, 2018). Because HIPAA was a law produced through the federal government for all healthcare entities, it is also backed up by the US Department of Health and Human Services or HHS. HHS created the HIPAA privacy rule to strengthen the requirements that HIPAA is in charge of implementing. These two sectors work hand in hand to enforce HIPAA regulations throughout healthcare. If state laws hold contrary to HIPAA regulations, then HHS deems those state laws will hold if the punishment is greater than federal law. Kara: Why was the policy created? The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 would be the first healthcare policy that nationally
- 4. protected individuals’ healthcare information such as health records and personal health information. By HIPAA being introduced into healthcare, facilities and patients have increased access to “more control over their health information, set boundaries on the use and release of health records, establishes appropriate safeguards that health care providers and others must achieve to protect the privacy of health information, and it holds violators accountable, with civil and criminal penalties that can be imposed if they violate patients’ privacy rights” (HHS, 2013). Before the implementation of HIPAA, healthcare entities had no regulation to sharing health care records or penalties due to not protecting the patients who received medical care. Not only did HIPAA help to protect patient health information, it was also enacted in order to allow individuals to maintain health care coverage when in between jobs. Jenna: Why is the policy important to health care? Jenna: What stakeholders are impacted by this policy (e.g., health care consumers, medical staff, etc.)? Stephanie W: In your opinion: Is the policy effective? Is it meeting the needs of the population as intended? How has the effectiveness of the policy been verified? Stephany G- Discuss the health and societal issues that had an impact on the development of the health care policy. The establishment of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 was the product of a time that did not have any federal law regulating health care information privacy. It was a time where technology was emerging, and many records were receiving attention and privacy except the very one that contained individuals’ health. According to Solove, D.J. (2013), “Since the 1970s, Congress had been passing several privacy statutes that protected driver license records, cable TV records, school records, and phone records.
- 5. There was even a federal law regulating the privacy of video rental records-but no one regulating the privacy of health records” (para.7). In essence, there was a high demand for a law that protect patient information and privacy. Due to the industry’s complexity, the law involves many rules and regulations to ensure all aspects are always covered. References CDC. (2018, September 14).
