This week in comp is Texas Mutual's weekly digest of workers' compensation news from around the country.
Rr 121616
Regulatory Roundup is a weekly digest of workers' compensation news. It discusses safety tips for winter driving in Texas and promoting flu prevention. It also reports that the state suspects four additional local cases of Zika virus in Cameron County, Texas. Additionally, it discusses an incident where a robot crushed and killed a temporary worker, resulting in OSHA fines totaling $2.5 million. Finally, it mentions proposed legislation in Florida that would allow employers to opt out of providing workers' compensation coverage.
Washington Post _ politics news & analysis
Contractors who worked on the federal HealthCare.gov website testified that full testing of the site began too late and was controlled by the government. The contractors said the government was in charge of the site's testing schedule. HealthCare.gov experienced many technical problems when it launched on October 1st. The contractors' testimony suggests that not enough testing was done before the full launch, and that the government bears responsibility for the testing schedule.

This weekly regulatory roundup discusses several workers' compensation news items from the past week. It warns of the dangers of drunk driving on New Year's Eve and promotes flu prevention tips. It also reports that a Texas court upheld regulating high fees charged by air ambulances. Additionally, it reviews top insurance industry trends from 2016, including driverless cars and drones. Finally, it mentions that ex-NFL players dropped their suit to recognize CTE under workers' comp and that United Airlines settled a repetitive motion injury suit by baggage handlers.
NO ON 69
This document opposes Amendment 69, which would create a universal healthcare system in Colorado. It argues that the amendment would nearly double the state budget by imposing a 6.67% payroll tax on employers and a 3.33% payroll tax on workers. It claims this would hit small businesses, farms, and ranches particularly hard and force companies not to locate in Colorado or to move out. The document also states that most Coloradans would lose their current healthcare benefits in favor of an as-yet undetermined system overseen by an unspecified entity and including unknown providers.

Growing Need
A survey found that 63% of workers see a growing need for voluntary benefits options. When asked why, the top reasons workers cited were rising medical costs (76%), rising medical coverage costs (66%), and increasing deductibles and copays (61%). Additionally, 86% of workers agree that the medical costs they are responsible for will increase. The data comes from the 2014 Aflac WorkForces Report.

The Colorado BioScience Association along with over 650 partners are opposed to three ballot measures facing Colorado this election – Amendment 60, Amendment 61 and Proposition 101. These three measures - also known as the 'ugly three' - are referred to as tax breaks, but will have a devastating impact on Colorado and the companies located in the state for years to come.

The report can help you understand and respond to the threat of organizational fraud in your company, and the facts presented can serve as benchmarks for your organization while helping to uncover areas you may have failed to address.
Stop Selling Heroin
The document discusses the Stop Selling Heroin organization, which aims to combat heroin abuse and overdoses in Cape May County, New Jersey. It provides background on the heroin epidemic in the county, with over 50 deaths in 2012. The organization wants to approach drug dealers and users through their friends and family to encourage support groups and resources. It also includes a sample buyer persona, examples of social media use and advertising, and an initial media budget.
Opioids part1-2010
The document discusses the epidemiology and complications of illicit opioid use. It summarizes prevalence rates of heroin use in Australia, risk factors for developing problems, and associated medical and psychosocial risks like infections, overdose, mental health issues, and social consequences. Prescription opioid use and responsible prescribing are also briefly mentioned.
FMCC 2016 Curbing Rx Drug Abuse Plenary by Christopher Jones
The document summarizes the opioid epidemic in the United States and the response from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It provides data showing that prescription opioids are the most commonly abused drugs and that opioid overdose deaths have increased significantly since 1999. The HHS Secretary launched an Opioid Initiative in 2015 focused on improving opioid prescribing practices, increasing access to naloxone to reverse overdoses, and expanding medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorders. Partnerships with health organizations aim to train providers and increase access to prevention and treatment services. States like Washington that implemented comprehensive approaches have seen declines in overdose deaths and hospitalizations.

FMCC 2016 Curbing Rx Drug Abuse Plenary by Daniel Blaney-Koen
The document discusses efforts to address the opioid epidemic in the United States, including:
- Increasing registration and use of prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) to track opioid prescriptions.
- Reducing the stigma around both pain and substance use disorder to increase access to comprehensive treatment.
- Expanding access to naloxone to prevent overdose deaths and "Good Samaritan" legal protections.
- Ongoing education of physicians on safe opioid prescribing and alternative pain management strategies.

National Academies of Science and Medicine: Intertwined Epidemics: Opioid and...
This document summarizes research on the intertwined opioid and heroin epidemics in the United States. It discusses trends showing rising overdose rates for both opioids and heroin since the 1990s. Qualitative interviews suggest many individuals transition from misusing prescription opioids to heroin. The epidemics are intertwined as the at-risk populations overlap and many initiate heroin use after developing dependency from prescription opioids. However, the heroin epidemic also involves a "heroin pull" from increased heroin availability and new forms of heroin being supplied. Ongoing challenges include addressing excessive opioid prescribing, improving surveillance of heroin products and use patterns, expanding treatment programs, and implementing harm reduction strategies.
Heroin
Heroin is an illegal and highly addictive drug derived from opium. It is typically taken by injection but can also be smoked or snorted. Use of heroin leads to a euphoric high but also serious health risks like overdose from the unpredictable potency of street drugs. The United States is experiencing a heroin epidemic, with a 50% rise in heroin use from 2002-2012 and over 680,000 people using heroin annually in 2013. Massachusetts alone saw over 200 heroin overdoses in a 3 month period of 2015. Treatment options for addiction include detox centers, counseling, therapy, and medication assistance programs.

1) Prescription drug abuse in the U.S. has reached epidemic levels, with overdose deaths, opioid sales, and treatment admissions all rising in parallel since 1999. 2) To reverse the epidemic, efforts are needed to improve prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs), ensure safer opioid prescribing practices, expand access to treatment including buprenorphine, and support state-level prevention strategies. 3) Early evidence suggests that real-time, universal PDMPs; mandating their use; integrating them into electronic health records; and comprehensive laws can all help to reduce doctor shopping, opioid prescribing, and overdose deaths.
Steph Bonacorsi - Oxycontin Epidemc
The document discusses the opioid epidemic in the United States, focusing on the role of OxyContin. It describes how OxyContin became widely prescribed due to a shift in pain treatment philosophy in the 1980s, an aggressive marketing campaign by Purdue Pharma claiming the drug had a low addiction risk, and changes in physician prescribing habits. However, OxyContin proved to be highly addictive, and increased opioid prescriptions correlated with rising overdose rates. Purdue Pharma was later found to have misleadingly marketed OxyContin and paid fines, but the epidemic had already taken hold across the nation. The FDA and state governments have since implemented measures to curb inappropriate opioid prescribing and monitor distribution.
The Prescription Drug Epidemic:
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Michael M. Miller on the prescription drug epidemic in the United States. It discusses how increased recognition of pain and addiction as medical conditions has led to more opioid prescriptions being written, resulting in higher rates of addiction, overdoses and deaths. While aiming to improve care, policies promoting greater opioid prescribing have had unintended consequences. The shortage of specialists means general physicians often lack training to safely evaluate and treat pain or addiction. Rising opioid prescription drug abuse now poses a major public health crisis in the U.S.

This document discusses the importance of treatment for opioid use disorders. It notes the rise in prescription pain medication abuse and related harms like overdoses. Treatment options like medication-assisted treatment with drugs like methadone and buprenorphine combined with counseling can effectively treat opioid addiction, improving health and social outcomes. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration promotes such evidence-based treatment approaches and prevention efforts to address the prescription drug abuse epidemic.

The director of the CDC discussed the prescription drug and opioid overdose epidemic in the United States. He noted that over 145,000 lives have been lost to prescription opioid overdoses in the past decade as opioid prescribing has increased 4-fold since 1999. The CDC is working with multiple states experiencing outbreaks of HIV linked to injection drug use. The director outlined a potential "technical package" of interventions including improving prescribing practices, increasing access to treatment, reducing drug availability, and public awareness campaigns. Progress requires a comprehensive, evidence-based public health approach with law enforcement and community involvement.

The origins of the current heroin crisis in America can be traced back to the overprescription of opioid painkillers in recent decades. As opioid prescriptions and sales increased aggressively starting in the late 1990s, so too did rates of opioid addiction, overdose deaths, and users transitioning from prescription opioids to heroin. While heroin use has been an issue in the past as well, linked to wars and social movements, the current crisis is uniquely tied to changes in opioid prescribing practices that flooded the country with highly addictive pain pills and helped reintroduce heroin as a cheaper alternative to prescription opioids.

The document discusses efforts in Colorado to pass a ballot initiative for a state single-payer healthcare system. Health Care for All Colorado received approval for ballot language asking voters to amend the state constitution to require the legislature to create a public health insurance plan available to all residents. They now need to collect 86,000 signatures to get the measure on the November 2014 ballot. Supporters see this as an important step towards establishing single-payer healthcare at the state level, while opponents argue such systems are too expensive and limit choices.
The Geography of Medical Identity Theft
Company names mentioned herein are the property of, and may be trademarks of, their respective owners and are for educational purposes only. - Medical identity theft has existed in various forms for decades, but it was in 2006 that World Privacy Forum published the first major report about the crime. The report called for medical data breach notification laws and more research about medical identity theft and its impacts. Since that time, medical data breach notification laws have been enacted, and other progress has been made, particularly in the quality of consumer complaint datasets gathered around identity theft, including medical forms of the crime. This report uses new data arising from consumer medical identity theft complaint reporting and medical data breach reporting to analyze and document the geography of medical identity theft and its growth patterns. The report also discusses new aspects of consumer harm resulting from the crime that the data has brought to light

Abstract
Topic:
Privacy- What medical information should be confidential? Who, if anybody, should have access to medical records?
Thesis Statement
In healthcare centers and overall privacy is the right of every US citizen that should be protected in all its forms by the healthcare organization.
Rationale
1. The purpose of this paper is to identify why security measures are necessary to protect one’s privacy in the medical industry.
2. There are numerous laws, policies and healthcare organizational rules and regulations and statistics that would be helpful for conducting this research.
3. Privacy of a person whether this is me or you, is important then everything. I want to talk on this topic because I think most of us do not know what is happening to us.
4. I have selected textual analysis of books and available internet sources. The reason of this limited research methodology is that I cannot perform field study because of shortage of time.
Rough Draft Ideas
Identity theft in healthcare industry become a common practice and leads to information leakage that may destroy someone’s life. We can eliminate this human right violation by enforcing effective and practical laws. Healthcare organizations should understand their responsibilities and tighten security to protect information of patients.

Introduction
While operating in healthcare organizations need to gather patient’s information that is mostly personal information. It is the moral and legal responsibility of health care organizations to protect the information of their patients and do not share it with people outside of the organization without the patient’s consent. Protecting patient’s information is a crucial element of respect and essential for patients' autonomy and trust in the organization — the US healthcare industry currently facing patient mistrust that is caused because of a lack of trust. When patients experience a lack of confidence they do not share their information with a healthcare professional that causes ineffective treatment. In a 2018 study, Levy, Scherer, Zikmund-Fisher, Larkin, Barnes, & Fagerlin concluded that approximately 81.1% of people withheld medically relevant information from their health-care providers. Patients fail to disclose medically relevant information in front of their clinicians undermine their health and cause patient harm (Levy, 2018).

Abstract
Topic:
Privacy- What medical information should be confidential? Who, if anybody, should have access to medical records?
Thesis Statement
In healthcare centers and overall privacy is the right of every US citizen that should be protected in all its forms by the healthcare organization.
Rationale
1. The purpose of this paper is to identify why security measures are necessary to protect one’s privacy in the medical industry.
2. There are numerous laws, policies and healthcare organizational rules and regulations and statistics that would be helpful for conducting this research.
3. Privacy of a person whether this is me or you, is important then everything. I want to talk on this topic because I think most of us do not know what is happening to us.
4. I have selected textual analysis of books and available internet sources. The reason of this limited research methodology is that I cannot perform field study because of shortage of time.
Rough Draft Ideas
Identity theft in healthcare industry become a common practice and leads to information leakage that may destroy someone’s life. We can eliminate this human right violation by enforcing effective and practical laws. Healthcare organizations should understand their responsibilities and tighten security to protect information of patients.

Essay Kite Runner Redemption
Peter the Great had an overall positive impact on Russia through his creation of St. Petersburg, though his methods were questionable. St. Petersburg established Russia as a major European power politically, socially, culturally, and economically. However, Peter was a narcissistic ruler who struggled to maintain power and adopted harsh methods to westernize and modernize Russia. While his reforms transformed the country, he ruled through fear.
