Unsafe Harbor - Tailoring Encryption to Meet HIPAA and Safe HarborRay Potter
HIPAA’s Safe Harbor provision is well-known: If PHI is encrypted so that it's unusable, unreadable, or indecipherable to unauthorized individuals, breach notifications aren’t required. However, the U.S. government considers that encryption not validated by NIST to FIPS 140-2 standards is the equal of plaintext. In other words, healthcare providers are rarely in full compliance with the federal benchmark. While governing bodies have been overlooking this incongruity, it is inevitable that the FIPS 140-2 cryptographic standard will be imposed on healthcare providers in the near future. This presentation will prepare attendees for this major hurdle.

This can be a confusing process, sending providers in a tailspin in their attempts to stay current. This webinar focuses on the overall details of Meaningful Use and provides a nice outline of all of its details.
Ben Quirk spoke to the South Florida medical group community about the impact of ICD-10 on the healthcare industry. It was a very informative talk that covered a lot of need-to-know details, including how ICD-10 relates to Meaningful Use and SNOMED.
In the age of core system replacements, there are a lot of tough decisions that have to be made. Quirk Healthcare lends its expertise of this difficult topic in this weeks Insight.
In this webinar, we explore the topic of Meaningful Use (MU) hardship exceptions. This should be of great interest to practices who are unable to attest for MU Stage 2 through no fault of their own. Here you'll find background on the exceptions, the categories CMS uses to determine valid hardships, and basic instructions on how to apply.
This webinar covers Health Information Technology (HIT) topics that are very much on everyone's mind today. From ICD-10 and SNOMED coding to MU and PQRS regs, this webinar will fill you in on the background and details you need to know. And if you're currently using an older version of NextGen/KBM, you'll find the upgrade info on those systems especially useful. Take advantage of this free information from Quirk Healthcare Solutions.
Our Insights webinar this week tackles a little-known program that will have a big impact on fee-for-service Medicare providers.

One way or another, providers will wind up on either the incentive or penalty side of this legislation. Take advantage of our webinar for in-depth information on this complex and far-reaching topic.
Data Conversions - Convert with ConfidenceBen Quirk
Data Conversions (DC) are necessary to ensure availability of Meaningful Use (MU) data, increased quality of care, and overall improved performance. Transferring data from an old system to a new or current one requires care and a knowledgeable project team to meet all standards of the organization for their go-live.
CMS has stopped being nice about ICD10. As of October 1, 2016, the grace period for not using specific codes for certain diagnoses is gone. If you are not precise with these codes, your denial rates will go up.
This presentatio helps you learn how you can avoid high denial rates and also explains:
- Key changes and revisions
- Written guidance from CMS and OIG that may negate a new guideline
- Chapter specific changes
- How to tell when you need documentation and when you don’t

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.
HIPAA Compliance For Small Practices: According to the American Health Information Management System (AHIMA), an average of 150 people from nursing staff to x-ray technicians, to billing clerks, have access to patient’s medical records during the course of typical hospitalization.
Patching software is a constant challenge. The Equifax hack and subsequent FTC investigation has shown us that required patches aren’t limited to those published by commercial vendors. Open source updates are just as critical; tracing new vulnerabilities and updates to applications in which those components are used isn’t just a good practice, it’s a regulatory requirement.
A focused approach to managing open source risk is essential as the legal landscape quickly evolves, including requirements under the FTC Act, HIPAA, and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Coupled with heightened regulatory enforcement, these requirements increase the pressures on companies to maintain data privacy and security. This session will cover common misconceptions about these requirements, and explain why open source management is essential to your overall security strategy.

Cyber Security Engineers are responsible for safeguarding computer networks and systems in an organization in order to protect the sensitive data they store.
Take on the role of Cyber Security Engineer for the organization you chose in Week 1. Research the following information for your chosen organization. Develop a Security Standards, Policies, and Procedures Manual using this template with recommendations to management of security standards, polices, and procedures which should be implemented in your organization.UPMC Hospital
Overview
Explain the importance to your organization of implementing security policies, plans, and procedures. Discuss how security policies, plans, and procedures will improve the overall security of the organization.
Security policies for UPMC Hospital are a critical part of maintaining compliance with health standards and regulations, such as HIPAA. A security plan will improve the overall security of the hospital by having a written documentation containing protocols for maintaining a secure network, protecting sensitive patient information, and providing a policy of encryption which will ensure secure data transmissions. Additionally, security plans and procedures assist in implementing a patient tracking system using secured technology to ensure patients are not abducted.
The following policies, standards, and procedures are meant to protect UPMC’s data security environment. These Risk Management Policies also serve as a reference document for employees to ensure a cohesive response is followed by all departments and personnel in the hospital system.
Data Privacy Policies and Procedures
This policy pertains to all hospital and medical personnel who have access to patient/hospital data and information, whether direct or indirect. This policy is meant to protect high-level data and information and prevent those who do not have clearance from accessing the information. This policy also meets the requirements of the Patient Health Information (PHI) requirements as found in the Health Insurance Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). UPMC has adopted this policy to ensure that employees of the hospital are not given too much access to systems where they have no purpose or related duties.
Policy: Least Privilege. Reasonable effort must be taken to ensure PHI is secure and protected when using, accessing, requesting, and disclosing the protected information. Each hospital department must limit access to PHI least amount of access to data of all personnel to ensure they are only allowed to access the least amount needed to complete their job responsibilities.
Data Isolation Policies and Procedures
A data isolation policy will assist the overall security of the UPMC hospital by insuring that the data is secure by instilling a databa.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Meaning, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Mor...The Lifesciences Magazine
Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the legs. These clots can impede blood flow, leading to severe complications.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
