As online practice management solutions and cloud technology become increasingly prevalent, lawyers face the challenge of assuaging client concerns around the security and confidentiality of hosted online data. They also face the task of gaining informed consent from clients when using such tools for engagement and information management.
How can lawyers implement and use secure communication tools, online client portals, and online practice management solutions while protecting themselves from the confidentiality rules that govern such technologies?
Register now for this webinar with legal technology expert Chad Burton, who will go over salient facts that lawyers need to know when engaging with clients in the cloud, including:
• State ethics opinions on using cloud computing vendors
• Obtaining informed client consent
• Common client concerns related to cloud computing
The document discusses the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and compliance. HIPAA was established in 1996 to provide privacy and security for patient health information. It consists of three rules regarding security, privacy, and enforcement. Violations can result in steep penalties such as fines up to $1.5 million per year or jail time. Healthcare organizations can help prevent violations by maintaining encrypted firewalls, securing mobile devices, only accessing medical records when necessary, and properly storing patient information.
The document discusses the implications of HIPAA non-compliance. It states that HIPAA was enacted to protect patient health information and covers entities like health plans, providers, and clearinghouses. Failure to comply with HIPAA brings risks like fines, imprisonment, and lawsuits. The federal government has established penalties for violations ranging from $100 to $1.5 million depending on factors like intent and corrective actions. Healthcare providers need to take all steps possible to ensure compliance, such as using automated compliance management solutions to prevent issues and ensure privacy of patient data.

CHAPTER3 Maintaining ComplianceMANY LAWS AND REGULATIONS.docxchristinemaritza
CHAPTER
3 Maintaining Compliance
MANY LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE IN PLACE regarding the protection of
information technology (IT) systems. Companies have a requirement to comply with the laws that
apply to them. The first step is to understand the laws. You’re not expected to be a lawyer, but you
should understand the basics of relevant laws.
Once you have an idea of which laws and regulations apply, you can then dig in deeper to
ensure your organization is in compliance. The cost of not complying can sometimes be
expensive. Fines can be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some offenses can result in jail
time.
Chapter 3 Topics
This chapter covers the following topics and concepts:
• What U.S. compliance laws exist
• What some relevant regulations related to compliance are
• What organizational policies for compliance should be considered
• What standards and guidelines for compliance exist
Chapter 3 Goals
When you complete this chapter, you will be able to:
• Define compliance
• Describe the purpose of FISMA
• Identify the purpose and scope of HIPAA
• Describe GLBA and SOX, and the impact for IT
• Describe the purpose of FERPA
• Identify the purpose and scope of CIPA
• List some federal entities that control regulations related to IT
• Describe the purpose of PCI DSS
• Describe the contents of SP 800-30
• Describe the purpose of COBIT
• Describe the purpose of ISO and identify some relevant security standards
• Identify the purpose of ITIL
• Identify the purpose of CMMI
U.S. Compliance Laws
Many laws exist in the United States related to information technology (IT). Companies affected
by the laws are expected to comply with the laws. This is commonly referred to as compliance.
Many organizations have internal programs in place to ensure they remain in compliance with
relevant laws and regulations. These programs commonly use internal audits. They can also use
certification and accreditation programs. When compliance is mandated by law, external audits are
often done. These external audits provide third-party verification that the requirements are being
met.
An old legal saying is “ignorance is no excuse.” In other words, you can’t break the law and
then say “I didn’t know.” The same goes for laws that apply to any organization. It’s important for
any organization to know what the relevant laws and regulations are.
You aren’t expected to be an expert on any of these laws. However, as a manager or executive,
you should be aware of them. You can roll any of the relevant laws and regulations into a
compliance program for more detailed checks.
This section covers the following U.S. laws:
• Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) 2002
• Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) 1996
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) 1999
• Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) 2002
• Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) 1974
• Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) 2000

HIPAA Compliance: What Medical Practices and Their Business Associates Need t...Skoda Minotti
Most medical practices are aware of the HIPAA HITECH requirements that affect their organizations, and the fines that they face if they are not compliant in the ways they handle patient health information (PHI).
What a lot of professionals don’t know is that HIPAA HITECH regulations also hold business associates, (i.e. other professionals from other companies who could also have access to PHI) just as responsible for protecting the data as the medical practices who own that information.
This document discusses HIPAA regulations and enforcement. It notes that HIPAA violations can result in loss of public trust, ethical issues, and penalties from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS enforces HIPAA through investigations of complaints and audits of covered entities.

Regulatory Compliance in the Pharmaceutical Supply ChainAudioEducator
The document summarizes key points about regulatory compliance in the pharmaceutical supply chain. It discusses how the FDA launched initiatives in 2002 to modernize drug manufacturing regulations using modern risk management and quality techniques. This was driven by an increase in adverse drug events and recalls. The FDA introduced new GMP regulations for the 21st century requiring comprehensive patient risk management and manufacturing approaches based on scientific principles. The new regulations can consider all products at a facility "adulterated" if any GMP system fails inspection, potentially wiping out revenue from a single high-risk product. The presentation provides background on these changes to FDA regulation and their impact on the pharmaceutical industry.

8. CONTRAINDICATIONS: MOVEMENT IN YOGA
8. Introduction to Contraindications
Students come to yoga classes with a variety of physical, mental, and emotional conditions that should be given special attention and support by teachers.
While making clear the distinction between yoga teacher and licensed medical or mental health professional, as teachers we are responsible for creating a safe and supportive environment for all students, including those with injuries, depression, age-related needs, and conditions such as pregnancy and menopause.
Here we will look at practical approaches to working with students whose bodies, hearts, and minds (which are not really separate) indicate the need for special accommodation in classes or in one-on-one sessions. Bringing a specifically yogic perspective to this aspect of teaching starts with looking at and appreciating every student as the whole person he or she is, offering tools and techniques for using various challenging conditions to heal, feel better, and move into a deeper quality of integration.

Nursing management of the patient with Tonsillitis PPTblessyjannu21
Prepared by Prof. Blessy Thomas MSc Nursing, FNCON, SPN. The tonsils are two small glands that sit on either side of the throat.
In young children, they help to fight germs and act as a barrier against infection.
Tonsils act as filters, trapping germs that could otherwise enter the airways and cause infection.
They also make antibodies to fight infection.
But sometimes, they get overwhelmed by bacteria or viruses.
This can make them swollen and inflamed.
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils, two masses of tissue at the back of the throat.
Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils, two oval-shaped pads of tissue at the back of the throat — one tonsil on each side.
Tonsillitis is common, especially in children.
It can happen once in a while or come back again and again in a short period.Nursing management of Tonsillitis is important.
A comprehensive understanding of the operations for management of Tonsillitis and areas requiring special attention would be important.
