Hitech Act
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act provides incentives for healthcare providers to adopt electronic health records. It aims to improve healthcare quality, reduce costs, and advance the use of health IT. The HITECH Act strengthens privacy and security protections for patient health information and requires notifications for breaches. It also provides guidelines for implementing electronic health records and exchanging patient information.
HIPAA and HITECH : What you need to know
This presentation discusses how to comply with HIPAA and HITECH privacy laws. Learn key terms such as Protected Health Information, the Privacy Rule and the Security Rule as well as major changes brought by HIPAA and HITECH.
Hitech Act
The HITECH Act provides incentives to increase adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) by physicians and hospitals. It aims to improve privacy and security of patient health information by reducing risks of unauthorized access to paper records. The Act defines security and breach requirements and provides up to $44,000 per physician and $11 million per hospital in Medicare/Medicaid incentives through 2015 for those demonstrating meaningful use of certified EHRs, including electronic prescribing and exchange of clinical information. Physicians and hospitals must meet usage guidelines or face penalties after 2015.
HIPAA | HITECH
This document discusses HIPAA and HITECH. HIPAA established privacy and security rules to protect patients' personal health information, and is enforced by fines and penalties. HITECH promotes the use of electronic health records and information exchange. It outlines compliance requirements, breach exceptions, and penalties for violations which can include fines up to $1.5 million and imprisonment. The conclusion questions whether these laws apply to health care workers and if non-compliance is worth the risks to patient privacy.

HR 5040 aims to extend financial incentives for adopting electronic health records to mental health and addiction treatment providers. It recognizes that integrating these providers into the national health IT system is critical for improving care coordination and health outcomes for those with mental health and substance abuse conditions. The bill clarifies definitions, establishes grants for facilities not eligible for incentives, and extends meaningful use incentives to more provider types within addiction and mental health organizations. This would help incorporate these services more fully and achieve the goals of the HITECH Act of promoting widespread HIT adoption.
Creating a Wired Health System
This document provides an overview of the need for a national eHealth strategy in Australia. It notes that the current healthcare system is fragmented and unable to cope with future challenges. A national eHealth system could help create a more integrated system by allowing electronic sharing of health information between clinicians and patients. However, the system requires significant investment in technologies and changes to privacy laws and standards. The document calls for a long-term, coordinated national approach to implement eHealth over 10 years.

Health Informatics Professionalism and Improving Patient Care
Health informatics professionals play an important role in improving patient care through the use of information technology. However, the field faces several challenges including a lack of clear career pathways, non-competitive pay and benefits, and limited opportunities for training and professional development. National organizations are working to address these issues by developing apprenticeships and degree programs, establishing occupational standards and job profiles, and providing resources to support continuing education and professional registration/accreditation. Overcoming these challenges is crucial to attracting talented professionals and fully realizing the benefits of health informatics.
Using Mobile Phones to Deliver Person-centred Population Health Prograames
Using Mobile Phones to Deliver Person-centred Population Health PrograamesHealth Informatics New Zealand
Dr Robyn Whittaker discusses using mobile phones to deliver population health programs through text messaging and mobile apps. Examples given include programs to help people quit smoking through personalized text messages with tips, videos, and social support over time. Evaluation found the STOMP smoking cessation program doubled short-term quit rates compared to a control group and was equally effective across demographic groups. While the STUB IT program did not recruit enough participants to show a significant difference, it provided long-term support through 12 months. Mobile programs allow wide reach, integration into daily life, and less inequality than other technologies.EHRs and the law
The document discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of electronic health records from the perspective of the Health and Disability Commissioner of New Zealand. It notes that EHRs could improve healthcare by providing access to accurate, up-to-date patient information across providers, but consistency, security, and public perception present challenges. The Commissioner's role is to protect consumers, ensure proper standards of care, and support improvements through learning rather than punishment. Careful implementation will be needed to balance these responsibilities with the benefits of integrated health information.
Southern Alliance CIO Report
The document discusses improving information sharing between hospitals and general practitioners (GPs) in the Otago and Southland regions of New Zealand. It describes how GPs have been given access to view patient records through a clinical viewer. Feedback has been positive from GPs and patients. Plans are to complete the rollout in Southland by end of 2008. The next steps discussed are either focusing on integration standards while GPs use different systems, or hosting a centralized system for GPs.
EHRs - Which direction should we take?
This document discusses electronic health records in New Zealand and debates the direction the country should take. It argues that New Zealand is well-positioned to expand existing GP-held electronic health record systems, as this may be the only way to achieve shared health records in the short to medium term. However, it also outlines some challenges, including issues around privacy, security of centralized systems, patient consent, and legal concerns that would need to be addressed for electronic health records to be widely implemented.
Text Messaging - Benefits for Patient and Health Provider
Text message reminders were found to reduce missed appointments ("Did Not Attends" or DNAs) at health centers in New Zealand. Two pilot programs found that text reminders reduced DNA rates by 15-26%, saving health resources and allowing more patients to receive needed care. Patients responded very positively to the text reminders, with over 99% approving of the service in surveys. The low cost of text reminders compared to phone or letter reminders and the ability to easily scale up the system has led to wider adoption of the reminder texting across multiple health organizations in New Zealand.

Enhancing Patient Readability of Discharge Summaries with Automatically Gener...Health Informatics New Zealand
The document discusses determining factors for successful knowledge management systems (KMS) in healthcare. It proposes a KMS success model for healthcare that combines the DeLone and McLean information systems success model with additional organizational and social factors. A quantitative study will be conducted using questionnaires to examine employees' use of KMS for knowledge sharing and retrieval in healthcare organizations, in order to identify key success factors and provide guidelines for implementing successful KMS in healthcare.Technical Vulnerabilities of Electronic Health Records
The document summarizes a seminar on the technical perspectives of vulnerabilities in health records. It discusses key definitions related to data security, including the CIA triangle of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It outlines common security threats like unauthorized access, viruses, denial of service attacks, and cyberterrorism. The presenter proposes a systematic 10-phase approach to information security that takes organizational goals into account and includes managerial drives, risk analysis, security policies, and regular revisions. Overall, the seminar emphasizes treating health data security systematically rather than through isolated fixes and stresses the importance of integrity protection for sensitive health records.
Telehealth Heart Failure
Telehealth programs have the potential to improve outcomes for heart failure patients. This study examined a telehealth program for heart failure patients in Auckland, New Zealand. The program aimed to improve quality of care and patient independence through remote monitoring between clinic visits. Early interim results found that 11 patients enrolled with a mean age of 58 years. The program aimed to identify barriers and enablers to telehealth adoption from the perspective of patients and healthcare professionals, as well as principles needed for effective telehealth implementation.
Systems to Support Medicines Reconciliation at TDHB
The document discusses implementing an electronic medication reconciliation system at Taranaki District Health Board (TDHB) in New Zealand. The goals are to record and verify patient medications within 24 hours of admission, clearly communicate medication changes during and after admission, and provide medication information to patients. The system will integrate with other systems to automatically update medication records and generate discharge summaries and patient instructions. Expected benefits include reducing adverse drug events, lowering hospital costs from shorter stays, and improving communication between hospitals and primary care providers.

Essay National Ehr Mandate
The document discusses national electronic health records (EHR) in the United States. It describes the 2004 federal government plan under President Bush to develop a system for patients to have easier access to their health records across different healthcare providers and settings. The plan set a timeline for healthcare providers to transition to EHRs. Interviews with nurses at one hospital provide perspectives on adapting to EHRs and the ongoing progress being made, though more work remains to fully meet federal goals. Barriers to compliance include the need to involve family practitioners and develop plans for private patient information on shared hospital room computers.
An Electronic Health Record ( Ehr )
The document discusses the benefits of electronic health records (EHRs), including improved patient care, decreased medical errors, and better collaboration between healthcare providers. It notes that 78% of physicians in one study said EHRs improved patient care. EHRs can contain a patient's medical history, test results, diagnoses and more. They allow for remote access to patient charts and provide alerts and recommendations to improve care. EHRs also improve research by providing more clinical data from large patient populations.

The document discusses the challenges public health services face with information systems. It notes that public health works at the population level to address health determinants and prevent illness through partnerships. However, information systems are often designed for personal health records and clinical management rather than public health's broader evidence base and longer timeframes. Standardization can override flexibility if not carefully managed. The document proposes several principles for effective public health information systems, including having business needs drive systems, enabling information exchange through standards, and keeping line-level data close to where it is used.HIPAA , REGULATORY AFFAIRS , M.PHARM ...
The document discusses the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA was introduced to protect patient health information and make it easier to keep health insurance between jobs. It sets privacy and security standards for electronic health data. HIPAA compliance is required for covered entities like healthcare providers and plans, and their business associates. It aims to safeguard protected health information while allowing proper healthcare administration.
DVHIMSS Ensuring Privacy and Security of HIEs in PA
Robust patient privacy and security protection are essential to build and maintain a necessary level of trust among patients, providers, health plans and other stakeholders.
Health care vertical open standards
Vertical standards in healthcare aim to address business problems unique to the healthcare industry. Such standards focus on data structures, document formats, and business processes to promote communication between disparate legacy systems. Examples include standards for electronic patient health records and medical messaging. The development of healthcare vertical standards has been slow but is gaining urgency as more data moves from paper to electronic records and the population ages. These standards are important to fully realize the benefits of health information technology (HIT) in improving care quality and reducing costs.
Health care reform 101 22 may 2012 smm
The document summarizes key aspects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) signed into law in 2010. It overviews major changes like the individual mandate requiring health insurance by 2014. It also discusses reforms aimed at broadening access to coverage, increasing provider choice, and making insurance more affordable. Major components outlined include the insurance exchanges, Medicaid expansion, essential health benefits package, and provisions already in effect like prohibiting pre-existing condition exclusions.
Electronic health records
This document discusses electronic health records (EHRs), their benefits, and privacy/security implications. EHRs allow health information to be created and shared digitally across organizations, improving quality, efficiency and costs. They include functions like test results management and computerized physician order entry. While EHRs offer advantages, they also raise privacy concerns addressed by rules like HIPAA, which establishes security standards and protects health information held by covered entities transitioning to digital formats. In conclusion, HIPAA does apply to regulate EHRs and their appropriate use of protected patient data.
Muiris o'connor
The document outlines a draft health information policy framework in Ireland. It discusses the need for a new policy to provide clarity on processing health information under new GDPR regulations. The framework proposes core principles like accountability, consent and data security. It suggests strengthening legislation to establish a clear legal basis for information sharing. The framework also proposes improved governance structures and operational standards to promote consistent and secure data use across the health system. A public consultation was opened to gather feedback on the draft policy.
Hipaa
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 to provide protections for personal health information. It established rules regarding the use and disclosure of medical records and health information. HIPAA regulates how consumer information can be shared, provides the right to access personal medical records, and enforces penalties for violations. As technology advances, continued challenges around health information security and integrating new regulations will be an ongoing priority to ensure patient privacy is upheld.

The impetus of Health Information Exchange in U.S
Health Information Exchange (HIE) is an information system that promotes a secure sharing of critical information as well the inclusive access critical medical information about a patient electronically (Abdelhak et al, 2014). One merit of the use of such electronic systems in the U.S is that they occur in different verities. The HIE also offer different types of services. Evidently, a recent development has enabled the HIE systems to promote the Marketplace and regional institutional services concerning the health sector. The merit of HIE applications included the improvement of speed, Quality, safety and reduced relative prices of charge per patient for care. This is made possible by the quick sharing of critical information among the doctors, pharmacists, nurses among all the relevant health personnel. The HGIE systems are such that, they are technically enabled to provide quick response to information demand with the relevant urgency and thus aids in the making of vital patient’s data and medical progress devoid of medical errors, readmissions, and duplicate testing. The resulting system has a generally improved diagnosis.
HIE enables three line of services in general: directed exchange, Query-based Exchange a consumer-mediated exchange services. Direct Exchange is the sending or receiving data electronically in the aid of coordination by caregivers. Whenever heath care provider wants to consult with other providers about a planned care, they employ the Query-based exchange while consumer-mediated Exchange enables patients to manage through control of the use of their personal information (Abdelhak et al, 2014). The availability of the three forms of health information Exchange makes the strong point of HIE since their integration in use is guided by some predetermined policies, technology, principles, and policies provision which have already been piloted before. The three forms are completely available throughout. With the Consumer-mediated Exchange system, the patient can be able to monitor the use of his personal medical information by their care provider. The patients can make a participation in their care enhancing through providing alternative providers with their heath condition, describe their heath information give the health missing or incorrect information, track and manage their own health.
Describe basic HIE organizational structures, architectures, and services
The commonly known architecture types of HIE includes the centralized hybrid and the federated models of HIE. The centralized HIE model is enabled with one Clinical Data Repository (CDR). The CDR is managed by HIE authority that is under the governance of the representatives from the relevant hospitals (Abdelhak .
Healthcare Interoperability: New Tactics and Technology
Every provider agrees on the need for healthcare interoperability to achieve clinical data insights at the point of care. The question is how to get there from the myriad technologies and the volumes of data that comprise electronic medical records. It’s been difficult to organize among participants that have had little incentive to cooperate. And standards for sending and receiving data have been slow to develop. This is changing, but the key components that are still vital to realizing insights are closed-loop analytics and its accompanying tools, an enterprise data warehouse and analytics applications. This article defines the problems and explores the solutions to optimizing clinical decision making where it’s needed most.
DISCUSSION 1According to HIMSS, interoperability describe.docx
DISCUSSION 1
According to
HIMSS
, interoperability “describes the extent to which systems and devices can exchange data, and interpret that shared data. For two systems to be interoperable, they must be able to exchange data and subsequently present that data such that it can be understood by a user.” There are four levels of interoperability:
foundational
structural
semantic
organizational
Foundational interoperability: the ability of one I.T. system to send data to another I.T. system. The receiving I.T. system does not necessarily need to be able to interpret the exchanged data — it must simply be able to acknowledge receipt of the data payload. This is the most basic tier of interoperability.
Structural interoperability: “the uniform movement of healthcare data from one system to another such that the clinical or operational purpose and meaning of the data are preserved and unaltered,” HIMSS states.
In order to achieve structural interoperability, the recipient system should be able to interpret information at the data field level. This is the intermediate level of interoperability.
Semantic Interoperability: the ability of health I.T. systems to exchange and interpret information — then actively use the information that has been exchanged. Semantic interoperability is the highest level of interoperability.“Semantic interoperability takes advantage of both the structuring of the data exchange and the codification of the data, including vocabulary so that the receiving information technology systems can interpret the data,” stated HIMSS.
Achieving semantic interoperability allows providers to exchange patient summary information with other caregivers and authorized parties using different EHR systems to improve care quality, safety, and efficiency.
This level of interoperability allows healthcare organizations to seamlessly share patient information to reduce duplicative testing, enable better-informed clinical decision-making, and avoid adverse health events.
Effective health data exchange can also help to improve care coordination, reduce hospital readmissions, and ultimately save hospitals money.
“New” Organizational (Level 4) – includes governance, policy, and social. While semantic interoperability is the goal, most healthcare organizations are still working to establish foundational and structural interoperability.
Hospitals and health systems can utilize existing health data standards to achieve lower levels of interoperability and set a solid foundation for future improvements in health data exchange.
Evaluate one of the Interoperability levels listed above.
Include the following aspects in the discussion:
Using your text and other course resources, assess one of the following levels listed above and its importance in achieving full interoperability.
Discuss technical and economic barriers hospitals face in achieving your chosen level of interoperability.

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?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
