Healthcare IT thought leadership and practice managers continually seek ways to foster a culture of alertness when it comes to HIPAA compliance. They have the dual challenge of staying on the right side of federal regulators and stopping would-be hackers. This is especially true given the potential impact a data breach can have on their organization’s reputation and bottom line. By reflecting on 2015, it becomes clear that covered entities and business associates alike will continue to prepare to mitigate the threat of cyber-attacks and the planned ramp up of OCR Phase 2 Audits.
HIPAA compliance Tune-up for 2016 is the topic of this webinar – which will be focused on mitigation strategies Covered Entities and BA’s alike can take to minimize the risk of data breach or actions prompting an OCR Audit.
The HIPAA Security Rule sets out strict guidelines for Covered Entities to maintain electronic records of their protected health information.
Fortunately, Omnibus allows Covered Entities to share access to their ePHI to third-party experts called Business Associates, and specifically identifies cloud service providers as viable options. This webinar will review how to leverage the cloud to safeguard your organization’s ePHI, including:
· What HIPAA requires.
· How to the assess your current protection level.
· Bridging the gap between your protection level and HIPAA requirements
Business Associates: How to differentiate your organization using HIPAA compl...Compliancy Group
Vendors that provide services to health care providers and health insurers are under increasing pressure to protect confidential patient/member information and certify compliance with HIPAA. These “business associates” must comply with numerous data privacy and security requirements under HIPAA and state law, and their ability to do so is often a key factor health care companies use when selecting a vendor. To stand out and make the sale, business associates need to be able to demonstrate robust HIPAA compliance and sufficient policies, procedures and protocols to protect their client’s sensitive data. This webinar will address what business associates need to do to comply with HIPAA and how to differentiate your organization from the competition using HIPAA compliance.

Business Associates: How to become HIPAA compliant, increase revenue, and gai...Compliancy Group
Since Omnibus started in 2013 Business Associates (BA) have scrambled to understand and adhere to the Federal Regulation. Though Omnibus alone was a reason for Business Associates to become compliant many realized that compliance could help differentiate their offerings. Helping the company retain and acquire new clients. Compliance is helping many BA’s open new revenue streams while increasing brand stickiness.
With the plethora of non-compliant Business Associates, Covered Entities are realizing that the best option for them is to choose a BA that is compliant to reduce their risk.
Have you ever felt confused by HIPAA’s complex regulations? Even if you are well versed in the laws, there are still many headache inducing intricacies. In this webinar, an experienced HIPAA auditor will highlight the basics of HIPAA, its regulations, what you need to know about it, and how it may affect you, especially with a new wave of HHS audits looming. The webinar is designed for HIPAA novices and experts alike, and all questions are encouraged in this interactive session.
HIPAA Compliance and Non-Business Associate Vendors - Strategies and Best Pra...Compliancy Group
HIPAA covered entities (including health care providers and health plans) and their business associates must be mindful of HIPAA compliance when working with other entities even when that other entity is not a business associate. Often, vendors have access to an organization’s premises or information systems which may result in incidental access to protected health information (PHI). For example, a cleaning service may have access to a medical records room or an IT support vendor may have remote access to employee workstations. While such incidental access to PHI does not make the vendor a business associate, an organization must ensure that its PHI is protected and that it complies with HIPAA. This webinar will address:
· Strategies for dealing with non-business associate vendors;
· Best practices to protect your organization; and
· Development of policies and model contract language.
How to prepare for OCR's upcoming phase 2 auditsCompliancy Group
Covered entities and business associates are on their toes awaiting the Phase 2 Audits from OCR. In this webinar we are highlighting the key points of what the OCR is looking for and how you should prepare. With the phase 2 audits being focused on the main sources of non-compliance in the Phase 1 Audits this could be the the webinar that saves your business!

Learn about the best tax status for your business (HINT: it may not be what you think!), following Locum Tenens rules by the insurance companies, preparing for life insurance trusts, ensuring partnerships are not dissolved … and MORE!
HIPAA Compliance and Electronic Protected Health Information: Ignorance is no...Compliancy Group
How many electronic devices used in your organization store electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI)? If you work in a healthcare setting, this is not easily answered. While there has been considerable attention paid to ePHI stored on computers and networked servers, and recent attention given to portable devices like tablets and cell phones, one class of ePHI bearing technology remains rather mysterious – medical devices. This webinar shines a light on medical device data storage and introduces ePHI breach risks in direct patient care, clinical lab, and medical imaging settings. A brief case study for each setting will be presented.
HIPAA compliance is mandatory for over 7 million covered entities and business associates. However, 70% are not currently compliant. The document outlines the HIPAA compliance requirements including conducting a risk assessment and illustrating corrective actions, having business associate agreements, and preparing for audits by updating policies and training. It notes that both covered entities and business associates will be audited under more strict protocols going forward. A four step compliance plan is suggested starting with conducting a gap analysis, creating a remediation plan, proving deficiencies were addressed, and maintaining ongoing compliance.
How to Effectively Negotiate a Business Associate Agreement: What’s Importan...Compliancy Group
At some point, nearly all HIPAA covered entities and business associates must enter into business associate agreements (BAAs). Far too often though, entities commit one of two errors when doing so - they either sign a BAA “as is” without careful consideration of its terms or they negotiate each and every item in the agreement. The first error may result in significant costs and liability, and the second wastes time and money. This webinar will address the terms and conditions of BAAs that require your attention, and which ones you shouldn’t lose any sleep over. The webinar will give both covered entities and business associates the tools they need to identify and address BAA risks, while protecting their business and saving time and money.
Shipman & Goodwin LLP attorneys have negotiated thousands of BAAs for small providers, Fortune 500 companies and everyone in between.
So you finally completed the implementation of your EHR, now you are HIPAA compliant right? Sadly this is far from truth. Meaningful Use and HIPAA though containing some of the same requirements (Core Measure 9 and 15) are far from the same. Learn in this webinar the differences in HITECH Meaningful Use and HIPAA and how to help your organization satisfy both.

Why a Risk Assessment is NOT Enough for HIPAA ComplianceCompliancy Group
A common misconception is that “A risk assessment makes me HIPAA compliant” Sadly this thought can cost your practice more than taking no action at all. A risk assessment is a requirement for HITECH under Meaningful Use Core Measure 15, but it does NOT make you HIPAA compliant. Furthermore it can enter you into the section of willful neglect and open your organization into the next level of fines.
Join industry experts to find out how you achieve Meaningful Use, HITECH and HIPAA compliance while protecting your practice. Don’t miss this webinar, it could be the biggest message you receive all year!

U.S. legislation such as the Affordable Care Act, HIPAA and HITECH outline rules governing the appropriate use of personal health information (PHI). Unfortunately, current technologies do not adequately monitor PHI use. In particular, while electronic medical records (EMR) systems maintain detailed audit logs that record each access to PHI, the logs contain too many accesses for compliance officers to practically monitor, putting PHI at risk. In this talk I will present the explanation-based auditing system, which aims to filter appropriate accesses from the audit log so compliance officers can focus their efforts on suspicious behavior. The underlying premise of the system is that most appropriate accesses to medical records occur for valid clinical or operational reasons in the process of treating a patient, while inappropriate accesses do not. I will discuss how explanations for accesses (1) capture these clinical and operational reasons, (2) can be mined directly from the EMR database, (3) can be enhanced by filling-in frequently missing types of data, and (4) can drastically reduce the auditing burden.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Phoenix Cardiac Surgery agreed to pay HHS $100,000 and
take corrective actions to protect patient information.
Complaint that the practice "was posting clinical and surgical
appointments for its patients on an Internet-based calendar that
was publicly accessible," according to an HHS news release.
The civil rights office's investigation also found that the practice
"had implemented few policies and procedures to comply with
the HIPAA privacy and security rules and had limited
safeguards in place to protect patients' electronic protected
OCR Director Leon Rodriguez said in the statement. "We hope
that healthcare providers pay careful attention to this resolution
agreement and understand that the HIPAA privacy and security
rules have been in place for many years, and OCR expects full
compliance no matter the size of a covered entity."
