Provider Credentialing Services: Provider Credentialing Services is the process of review and verification of the information of a health care provider who is interested in participating with a managed care organization (MCO).
HIPAA establishes national standards to protect individuals' medical records and other personal health information. It gives patients more control over their health information and sets boundaries on how health records can be used and shared. Covered entities like health plans and healthcare providers must implement appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to secure protected health information. This includes conducting risk analyses, limiting access to authorized users, tracking access to records, training employees, and establishing security incident response plans and contingency plans to backup data and ensure business continuity.
Here are the key points about protecting patient confidentiality:
- Patient confidentiality has always been an important ethical principle in healthcare, but modern technologies like electronic health records present new challenges to protecting privacy.
- While laws and regulations around confidentiality may still be evolving, physicians should make reasonable efforts to protect patient information and only disclose it with proper consent or in situations required by law.
- Maintaining patient trust is critical, so any accidental or improper disclosure of private health information could damage the patient-physician relationship and potentially lead to legal issues.
- Educating patients about privacy limitations and obtaining signed releases for sensitive records helps ensure confidentiality protections while allowing important sharing of information for care coordination.

She is the associate director of Health Information Technology Policy in the National Center for Primary Care at Morehouse School of Medicine.
The symposium is designed for clinicians, healthcare workers, and healthcare executives interested in exploring the major themes that will emerge in health policy throughout the year. This year, the symposium will emphasize value in healthcare, health information technology, gun violence, insurance choices, the Affordable Care Act, and the viewpoints of the Presidential candidates on health care.
The document discusses emerging innovations in health care payment and delivery models. It outlines three manifestations of health care budgets: the federal budget framework, budgeting in the private market through accountable care organizations and other value-based models, and individuals on a budget facing increased cost-sharing. It also examines new incentives like meaningful use standards and payment reform driving changes like patient-centered medical homes, accountable care organizations, and bundled payments. Overall, the document argues that greater availability of health data, new payment incentives, and the growth of chronic disease are fueling innovation in models that shift accountability and risk to providers to improve quality and reduce costs.
The Palmetto Project aims to put innovative ideas to work in South Carolina. It has established several initiatives to improve healthcare access and outcomes, including the South Carolina Immunization Partnership, Communicare, and AccessNET Provider Collaborative & Patient Navigator Network. These initiatives utilize partnerships, political techniques, community involvement, and care coordination to increase immunization rates, provide care to the uninsured, and improve outcomes for patients with chronic diseases. Data collection and management systems have also been implemented to facilitate coordination between providers.
The document discusses Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and health insurance exchanges established under the Affordable Care Act. It explains that ACOs are groups of healthcare providers that agree to be accountable for quality and costs for Medicare patients. The exchanges allow individuals and small businesses to purchase qualified health plans. The document then provides details on how healthcare entities can become ACOs and considerations around participation, such as investments required and risks of not achieving savings. It also discusses perspectives of physicians, managed care organizations, manufacturers, and patients on ACOs.
The establishment of web-based health insurance exchanges is a key component of healthcare reform. Their purpose, developmental challenges,patient access benefits and healthcare industry impact are discussed.

2018 Public Relations & Digital Reach Campaign for Missouri CTFlearfieldinteraction
This presentation represents a variety of ways that the Missouri Children's Trust Fund works to reach the public in their efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect through grant funding, public awareness and education.
2016-2017 Public Relations & Digital Reach Campaign for Missouri CTFlearfieldinteraction
This document outlines the Foundation for Child Abuse Prevention's advertising, media, and public relations plans for 2016-2017. Key initiatives included prevention campaigns on safe sleep, shaken baby syndrome, and never leaving children unattended. Donor campaigns focused on license plates and tax check-offs. The foundation used radio, print, digital media, and public transit advertising. Public relations efforts included social media, a website, and special events for Child Abuse Prevention Month. Ongoing initiatives aimed to strengthen families and prevent different types of child abuse.
The document discusses guidelines for aspirin use in cardiovascular disease prevention. It outlines that aspirin decreases heart attacks in men and strokes in women, but also increases gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhagic strokes. The benefits of aspirin therapy depend on an individual's cardiovascular risk factors and risk of adverse effects. The USPSTF recommends aspirin for those at higher risk, but advises weighing risks versus benefits for those at intermediate risk through shared decision-making. The optimal aspirin dose for prevention is uncertain, but 75mg per day appears effective.
This document provides clinical guidelines for pneumococcal vaccination in older adults. It describes pneumococcal disease as a leading cause of vaccine-preventable illness and death in the US, especially dangerous for young children and adults aged 65 and older. It recommends vaccination with PPSV23 for adults aged 65 and older, as well as younger adults with certain medical conditions that increase risk. PPSV23 protects against the 23 serotypes known to cause the majority of invasive pneumococcal disease. While it is effective at preventing severe disease, it may not prevent all cases of pneumococcal pneumonia.
This document provides guidelines for lowering high blood pressure in adults. It outlines that hypertension is very common, affecting 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. It can damage organs like the brain, heart, kidneys, and arteries. The guidelines recommend treating hypertension to a goal of below 140/90 mmHg or 130/80 mmHg for those with diabetes or kidney disease to reduce health risks. Lifestyle changes like losing weight, eating healthy, reducing sodium, and increasing exercise can naturally lower blood pressure. Medications may also be needed to control hypertension. Patients should be regularly monitored until their blood pressure is controlled.
The document summarizes the impact of an EF-5 tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri on May 22, 2011. It destroyed over 25% of the city and caused over $3 billion in property damage. 161 people lost their lives and over 2,500 were injured. Critical infrastructure like hospitals, schools, and communication towers were severely damaged. The tornado displaced over 12,000 residents and destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. It was one of the deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history.
This presentation featured inforamation about stage 2 meaningful use, new clinical quality measures, details on Medicare payment adjustments and other program changes.
This document discusses six things that medical practices must know about quality to remain viable. It notes that value-based purchasing is now required by law, with value determined by both cost and quality. Quality will be measured using PQRS measures. 2013 is a pivotal year for reporting to avoid penalties in 2015. Electronic quality measures are the future of reporting. Practices should use population management and rapid cycle improvement to close performance gaps. They should take advantage of opportunities to increase revenue through expanded Medicare coverage and programs that incentivize quality.
MAFP Quality Reporting for Cash-CMS Incentives and Your Bottom Linelearfieldinteraction
This document discusses quality reporting incentives from CMS and their impact on physician practices. It outlines the requirements and incentives for three separate CMS programs - Meaningful Use, PQRS, and e-Prescribing. Participation in these programs can provide incentives, but failure to participate may result in payment penalties beginning in 2015. The document provides an overview of each program's objectives, measures, and reporting options to help physicians incorporate quality reporting into their practices.
This document provides an overview of e-prescribing requirements, incentives, and penalties related to Meaningful Use and the e-Prescribing Incentive Program. It summarizes proposed changes to Meaningful Use Stage 2 objectives that relate more directly to e-prescribing. It also outlines the criteria for avoiding penalties in 2013 and 2014, including qualifying for incentives, reporting a minimum number of e-prescriptions, or applying for a hardship exemption. The document concludes with best practices for e-prescribing.

18. Case Study: Saving Time, Money and Lives in Memphis
Study:
12 hospital emergency rooms in the Memphis area shared
patient information electronically
Compared ER outcomes from 2 groups of patients: one with clinical
background in EHRs and another without data
Results:
Participating hospitals reduced health-care costs by
$2million over 13 months
Doctors avoided needless admissions, CT scans and other
unnecessary or duplicative tests
Research indicates that the savings for hospitals around the US could
be in the billions and lead to better medical outcomes

Editor's Notes
First, a quick refresher on who we are…
Highlight CAC here
To look at it another way, from a patient’s perspective, we’re connecting his/her providers so they can have the records at the point of care and provider better care.
MHC Direct allows for the secure exchange of information such as referrals, notes, continuity and transitions of care documents, and even images. Each message can contain multiple attachments much larger than standard email. Itis an encrypted email service for providers to securely share patient health information. Though it functions much like standard email, MHC Direct messages are encrypted in compliance with HIPPA and state law, and are a quick and easy alternative to secured fax.MHC Direct is a good solution for providers who do not have an EMR yet, but have an Internet connection
The Provider Directory manages provider identities, including details on how providers can receive event notifications and clinical summaries.Terminology management enables maintenance and use of applicable terminology standards (e.g. LOINC, SNOMED, and ICD) or custom code sets as appropriate.CONSENT: A flexible consent engine for defining consent policies, capturing patient consent directives, and enforcing privacy policies whenever data is accessed. Our Consent Management component allows for consent policies at a very granular level including blocking information types or data sources for a single patient.CLINICAL MSG DELIVERY: Provides powerful capabilities for secure, direct communication between people (e.g. a referring physician and a specialist) and between systems. Messages can be triggered by user action or as a result of an event and they can be delivered to an external system, such as a physician's EMR, to the secure Clinical Message Center, or to the clinician's Direct account.
Elaborate on this verbally. We will be showing some slides of what the web viewer look like. This is just a demo, so it won’t look exactly like this but will give you a flavor.
Only patients who choose to opt-in will have their information exchanged among providers in the Network.Identifiable patient data is ONLY used for clinical purposes, at the time of care and by providers caring for that patient. Providers may NOT share the information outside of the network…In other words, private health information will NOT be shared for marketing/commercial purposes, or with employers, etc.
Let me give you a simple example.Say you live in St. Louis and go to the doctor there. But you are on vacation in Branson with your family when you get sick or have an accident. With MHC, you didn’t have to fill out medical historyDocs were able to see Allergy to medicine before it was administeredPrevented a duplicate testThey didn’t have to wait for three faxes and phone callsAll the medical history was there for the doctor to treat you immediately
(in addition to what’s on the slide) ALSO – one example from this study of saving a life… a woman came into the ER with bleeding from uterus. The doctor would have ordered an ultrasound, but was able to see from her e-records that she had just had one a few days earlier at another facility and had an etopic pregnancy. With that knowledge, they put her into immediate surgery…her blood pressure dropped to zero on the operating table and they almost lost her but she made it through. One of the doctors there attributed her life being saved to health information technology.
