RDH LTH Talk 1
This document provides an introduction to doctor-patient confidentiality. It discusses that doctors have an ethical and legal duty to keep patient information private, except in certain situations. Under 18s have rights to confidential care if they are deemed mature enough to make their own healthcare decisions. The doctor's main concern is the patient's health and wellbeing. Exceptions to confidentiality include if the patient agrees to share information, it is needed for continued care, the law requires disclosure, or if the doctor believes the patient or others may be harmed. Maintaining confidentiality builds trust between doctors and patients.

Sabrina Ragland, a medical assistant with 12 years’ experience.docx
Sabrina Ragland, a medical assistant with 12 years’ experience, works for a gastroenterologist,
Dr. Tim Taylor. She comes from a family heavily involved in the medical fi eld. Her father was a
surgeon and her mother was his offi ce assistant. Two of Sabrina’s sisters are nurses, and her
brother is a respiratory therapist. Her husband, Joe, is a biomedical technician, and his mother,
Elsa Ragland, has been an RN for 40 years. For more than half of her career, Elsa has worked
for a local internist, Dr. Royce Berry. A casual comment at the Ragland family picnic resulted in
a medical professional liability lawsuit based on violation of patient privacy. Sabrina and Elsa’s
careers were jeopardized by a simple exchange of what seemed to be innocent information.
Vivian Adams, a 42-year-old hospital insurance biller, saw Dr. Berry in his offi ce for pain
located in her lower left quadrant. Ms. Adams was not a new patient but had not visited the
offi ce in approximately 2 years. When she arrived for her visit, she was presented with the
offi ce privacy policy and was asked to sign the document. Vivian glanced through it, signed it,
and saw the doctor. He performed an examination and found that Vivian was likely suffering from
irritable bowel syndrome and prescribed medication. Ms. Adams called the physician 1 week later complaining that she was no better. Dr. Berry
changed her medication without seeing her and did not hear from her again, other than her requests for refi lls of the medication. After 6 months with
no improvement, Ms. Adams went to Dr. Taylor; after several diagnostic tests, she was told that she had colon cancer and was given a bleak prog-
nosis. She told Dr. Taylor that she blamed Dr. Berry for not being more thorough in his testing. Sabrina was in the room and heard the comment.
That weekend at the picnic, Sabrina mentioned Ms. Adams to her mother-in-law and stated that the patient might sue Dr. Berry, although the pa-
tient never said those words. Elsa defended Dr. Berry and proclaimed that he was a good doctor, then expressed her hope that Ms. Adams would not
sue her employer. One week later, Elsa was in a grocery store and saw Ms. Adams. Elsa immediately expressed her sympathy about her diagnosis,
and then asked if there was anything she could do. Her intent was to be kind and try to avert litigation against Dr. Berry. Her gesture might have been
well received had Ms. Adams’ daughter, Terri, not been standing with her. Terri was not yet aware that her mother had been diagnosed with cancer.
Ms. Adams had told no one about her illness at that point. After the incident at the grocery store the fi rst person Ms. Adams told was her attorney.

Hipaa and you
HIPAA and employee education on protecting patient privacy and health information. The document defines HIPAA as a US law requiring health providers to protect patient medical records and information. It provides 3 key points: employees are legally required to protect patient private health information (PHI) and only share on a need-to-know basis with signed consent; employees should not discuss patient care with unauthorized individuals or leave PHI unattended; the document poses hypothetical situations to illustrate employee responsibilities around properly handling PHI requests and incidents of exposed information.
Patient confidentiality
Patient confidentiality is important to maintain. Medical staff should not discuss a patient's condition with anyone other than the patient and should avoid gossiping about patients. It is important to verify patients before sharing information and shred any documents containing private health details. Violating patient privacy laws can result in fines or jail time, so all medical professionals must work together to protect sensitive patient information and build trust.
HIPAA 2010
This document provides an overview of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its requirements for protecting patient privacy and health information. HIPAA sets rules for how patient health information can be accessed, used, and shared. It defines protected health information and covers entities like health care providers and health plans. HIPAA provides patients with rights over their health information and places requirements on how information is stored, communicated, and disclosed. Organizations must implement privacy practices and security measures to ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations.
HIPAA Basics
The document discusses HIPAA regulations regarding patient privacy. It explains that HIPAA was passed in 1996 to set national standards for protecting patients' medical records and personal health information. Key aspects of HIPAA include defining protected health information, requiring facilities to implement privacy policies and provide privacy training, and giving patients rights over their health information including access and confidentiality. Facilities and individuals can face penalties for HIPAA violations.
Privacy training
HIPAA is a law that protects Protected Health Information (PHI) by requiring national standards for electronic health transactions, identifiers, and security. PHI includes individually identifiable health information relating to health conditions, treatment, or payment. Employees must safeguard PHI by changing access codes, only accessing relevant information, and understanding that viewing unauthorized information violates HIPAA. Violations can result in consequences ranging from counseling to termination. Regular privacy training and audits of medical records help ensure compliance.
HIPAA Training
HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 which outlines guidelines for confidential patient information and identifies what can be shared publicly. It is important for healthcare workers to know what information is private and what can be disclosed, as violating patient privacy is illegal and has serious consequences for both individuals and their employers. HIPAA applies to all employees who access confidential patient data in any form to protect patient privacy.

W1 d2
This document discusses HIPAA confidentiality and protecting patient information. It notes that HIPAA was implemented to protect patient medical records and information from being disclosed without consent. Patient information can be compromised in ways like employees looking at charts they should not access. To address this, facilities should implement stronger passwords, physical security measures, annual HIPAA training, and ensure staff do not discuss patient care in public areas. The training should cover what HIPAA is, its consequences, and impacts on individuals involved in violations. Maintaining patient confidentiality is important to build confidence in healthcare.
HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted to safeguard patient privacy and security. HIPAA has two key parts: the Privacy Rule, which protects private patient information, and the Security Rule, which standardizes security protocols for electronic health information. HIPAA requires healthcare workers to protect patients' personal and health information, known as protected health information (PHI), which can include names, medical records, and billing information. Violating HIPAA can result in fines up to $1.5 million and jail time up to 10 years.

Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
A Deep Dive into ScyllaDB's Architecture
This talk will cover ScyllaDB Architecture from the cluster-level view and zoom in on data distribution and internal node architecture. In the process, we will learn the secret sauce used to get ScyllaDB's high availability and superior performance. We will also touch on the upcoming changes to ScyllaDB architecture, moving to strongly consistent metadata and tablets.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
