This document summarizes key points about HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations regarding privacy and security of protected health information. It discusses who and what is covered under HIPAA, requirements for covered entities, examples of privacy violations, and concerns around health information exchange through RHIOs (Regional Health Information Organizations).

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Kartheek Kein
HIPAA is the acronym of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The main purpose of this federal statute was to help consumers maintain their insurance coverage, but it also includes a separate set of provisions called Administrative Simplification.
While this presentation offers a rudimentary understanding of HIPAA as it relates to PHRs, its primary objective is to highlight key aspects of PHR privacy policies provided by non-covered entities (Microsoft & Google) and argue that HIPAA, after significant amendments, should be extended to them.
PowerPoint presentation from the Human Subjects Research Committee at the University of North Alabama,
in Florence, AL, concerning HIPAA policies and procedures.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was created primarily to modernize the flow of healthcare information, stipulate how Personally Identifiable Information maintained by the healthcare and healthcare insurance industries should be protected from fraud and theft, and address limitations on healthcare insurance coverage – such as portability and the coverage of individuals with pre-existing conditions.

HIPAA applies to “PHI” (Protected Health Information).
PHI Information’s are those information that identifies who the health-related information belongs to. I.e. names, email addresses, phone numbers, medical record numbers, photos, driver’s license numbers, etc.
For an example if you have something that can identify a user together with health information of any kind (from an appointment, to a list of prescriptions, to test results, to a list of doctors) you have PHI that needs to be protected as per HIPAA regulations.
While the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is best known for its multitude of requirements that govern the way health care providers can use, disclose, and safeguard protected health information (PHI), its reach goes far beyond that to health plans and business associates that only handle PHI on a limited basis. HIPAA implementation in these environments creates unique challenges—for example, which provisions actually need to be addressed—but with 2016 marking an all-time high for HIPAA enforcement cases, it may be more important now than ever to address HIPAA compliance.

We tend to think of indigenous Sardinian construction as robust and direct although not particularly refined. This is due in large part to the widely published images of nuraghi, the stone towers that gave name to the Nuragic Era which spanned from about 1800 to 535 BCE. It is believed that at one time there were as many as 20,000 of these constructions of massive, roughly hewn volcanic stone. Their simple geometric forms are iconic in the natural landscape. Of the approximately 7,000 that have survived, many are sufficiently intact to be experienced as buildings.
There is, however, another archetypal form of masonry from the Nuragic Era. This is the precisely cut stonework of the pozzi saccri (sacred wells). Examples include the limestone remains at Perfugas and the reassembled pozzo at the Santa Cristina archeological site, about 115 kilometers from Cagliari. Here, the carefully finished blocks of stone, many non-orthogonal, generate complex geometry both in volume and surface. Built around 1000 BCE, the well itself and the walls that establish its precinct define a construction vocabulary that can be seen in Sardinian architecture for the following 2,000 years; that is emphasizing symbolic building elements by contrasting their high level of finish against a rough background. This may be seen not only in the ceremonial buildings such as churches and tombs, but also in the details of vernacular building. While this device is not unique to Sardinian architecture, there are few other places where a 3,000 year continuum is so clearly seen.

Replication of Damaged Grotesques at Shepard Hall is Nearing Completion
The restoration and replacement of the last 46 sculptures on the exterior of Shepard Hall, City College of New York, is included in the tenth and final Exterior Reconstruction project designed by Elemental Architecture. The grotesques plus numerous florets and other decorative sculptures are the final set of pieces in the more than 3,000 distinct sculptures that required replication as part of the 72,000 pieces that have been fabricated over the past twenty-five years. Image #1 shows thirteen of the restored grotesques. These will be mated with the proper molding profiles and then production molds will be created.
Images #2 and #3 show grotesques that required minor repairs; edges of the headdress, nose and finger tips. The top of the head, nose, shoulder and knee of the grotesque in Image #4 needed full reconstruction. Image #5 shows the partially completed replacement of a foot that had been completely missing.
The exterior reconstruction of Shepard Hall is a project of the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York and the City University of New York. The replacement castings for this phase are being produced by GFRC Cladding Systems and sculptor Dan Brook. The contractor is Admiral Construction.
We were pleased to hear Seneca Falls prominently mentioned in President Obama’s inaugural address. We at Elemental Architecture, successor firm to The Stein Partnership, are honored to have collaborated with Ann Marshall and Ray Kinoshita on the design and execution of the Chapel Block of the Women’s Rights National Historical Park and Visitors Center, the site of the Wesleyan Chapel where the first Women’s Rights Convention was held in 1848. Despite unfortunate changes to the preserved fragments of the Chapel, the site remains a moving testament to early struggles for gender equality.

There is a tendency to think of the work of Mies van der Rohe as exercises in purist geometry, dry and mathematical. A May 2012 visit to newly restored Villa Tugendhat in Brno, Czech Republic, most easily recognized from its west façade (IMAGE 1) offered a clear reminder that although the precise and controlled layering seen in Mondrian paintings (IMAGE 2), Mies’ European work is also deeply involved with the transparency, reflectivity and ambiguity of Maholy Nagy. (IMAGES 3, 4, 5, 6,7)
The above is in addition to the unmistakable concern with the architecture of material and construction (Materiality) (IMAGE 8) which has been discussed with clarity and detail by Professor Ivo Hammer in several articles; or the effect of the understated entry (IMAGE () that begins the experiential drama resolving in the remarkable public spaces.
Since the 1970’s and before, there have been efforts in architectural and social criticism to discredit Modernism as simplistic and bland, cold and antihuman. The experiencing Villa Tugendhat, as well as Modern icons such as Villa Savoye (IMAGE10) and the Barcelona Pavilion (IMAGE 11) totally contradict these claims.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Editor's Notes
Over the past three decades the healthcare industry and the Federal government have tried to arrest double digit increases in healthcare costs. Some of the methods to do so have included group insurance plans, subsidized plans, managed care, self-insured funds, wellness programs and preventive education. The organization that oversees Medicare and Medicaid, called HCFA at the time, now CMS, limited allowable charges and required standardized transactions. What followed was the introduction of traditional health plans who each introduced their own cost-saving ideas that surrounded billing and claims. Unfortunately, elements involved in these transactions were not standardized and left providers who handle a variety of patients, represented by a variety of payers, with a multitude of inconsistencies. Delays and rejections due to processing errors and incorrect coding formats became commonplace causing a strain and even causing many to submit to paper that which could have been submitted electronically.
