As the volume of electronic medical data has grown, so has the number of third-party custodians who handle it. Organizations increasingly rely on third parties for infrastructure, managed applications and data management. Navigating the changing rules governing these third parties
has become more complex. The risk of these relationships is significant: Third parties are responsible for almost half of all data breaches. Compounding these challenges are new federal requirements for managing electronic protected health information. Important changes that take effect Sept. 23, 2013 in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Omnibus Rule broaden the definition of a business associate, set new limits on how data may be used, redefine what constitutes a breach and establish new civil penalties for violations. Failing to properly assess risks inherent in these relationships and inadequately implementing monitoring controls to address the risk of third-party relationships can be costly in terms of potential penalties and damage to an organization’s reputation.

Epstein Becker Green Webinar - "Proactive Compliance Initiatives for Private Equity Platform Companies: Proactive Health Care Regulatory Compliance" - with Attorneys John W. Eriksen, Joshua J. Freemire, and Kevin J. Ryan - October 23, 2018.
While the platform proceeds with expansion and other accretive initiatives, it is also critical to establish a parallel work stream focused on the establishment or expansion of a platform’s compliance program commensurate with the platform’s existing and growing operations. The platform should have an appropriate compliance infrastructure, such as designated compliance personnel, training, background checks for employees, reporting mechanisms for employees, documented remediation of any identified issues, and ongoing self-audits of billing, coding, and documentation. Key subjects of compliance are fraud, waste and abuse, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the ability to respond to audits, licensure, the corporate practice of medicine, and other key regulatory compliance areas. Establishing and being able to demonstrate an effectively operating compliance function will help lower uncertainties and enhance a platform’s value upon an exit.
The fourth webinar in this series will address different approaches to enhancing compliance initiatives for platform companies to employ as they continue existing operations and expand operations via integrating new acquisitions. These proactive efforts can be effectuated in a cost-effective manner and be a key investment towards enhancing overall value of the growing platform.

What the ONC's Proposed Rule on Information Blocking Means for Your WorkHealth Catalyst
Information blocking has been a hot-button issue for years as it has impeded innovation and patient healthcare options for too long. The 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act) sought to eliminate these problems but information blocking persisted. However, in February 2019 the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) announced a proposed rule with consequences to non-compliance with the Cures Act that may finally force true interoperability. As a healthcare decision maker you have a real opportunity to build an innovation strategy around these changes. To learn how, view this webinar.
True data interoperability enables innovation and better patient experience. In aggregate, both of these activities have the potential to accelerate the shift away from fee-for-service and towards fee-for-value healthcare. Dan Orenstein has spent much of his career providing legal counsel to healthcare organizations on regulatory and risk management issues as well as how to implement growth initiatives that comply with healthcare laws and regulations. That experience has made him an expert in applying policy to healthcare strategy. He has studied the proposed rule and in this webinar he will provide a summary of the existing legislation, implications of non-compliance with the proposed rule as well as insight into putting it into practice.
View this webinar and learn:
- To identify information blocking practices
- Seven exceptions to the information blocking provision and how they may apply to your work
- Summary of the public comments about the proposed rule and the overall perception of it in the industry
- The potential impact to your healthcare organization

Health IT Data Security – An Overview of Privacy, Compliance, and Technology ...M2SYS Technology
Radical advancements in health IT development and implementation have pushed the issue of health data security to the forefront of the collective healthcare provider mindset as they attempt to strike a balance between patient access to electronic health record protected health information (PHI) and data protection. The fact that so many health IT vendors now have access to and possess protected health information necessitated shift changes in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 which was enacted to establish ground rules for the privacy protection of individually identifiable health information.
We invited Mac McMillan, Chair of the HIMSS Privacy and Security Task Force to discuss what these new changes are, define their parameters, the mission of the HIMSS PRivacy & Security Task Force, his definition of what “privacy” actually is, comments on new technology that are viable options for healthcare providers to implement as a way to protect access to sensitive patient data, and his thoughts on the increased adoption of PHI management applications such as Microsoft HealthVault.
Listen in to this podcast for more information on the latest health IT industry developments and regulations that govern PHI and for insight from Mac on why healthcare providers and third party vendors should pay close attention to compliance with recent HIPAA changes.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

The volume of electronic medical data is growing rapidly, driven by the potential quality of care considerations, desired process efficiencies, cost savings and looming federal requirements to migrate all health care providers to electronic records by 2015.In the past year, the use of electronic medical records has more than doubled, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has already exceeded its goal to have 50% of doctors’ offices and 80% of eligible hospitals using electronic records by the end of 2013.
Four-tiered risk assessment replaces the harm threshold in identifying a breach.
These third-party relationships offer a host of benefits for health care providers. Contracting with an outside firm to manage data systems enables providers to streamline their IT systems and related processes, and accelerate the deployment of IT resources, such as new software. These relationships also allow health care providers to focus key limited people resources on vision and mission-critical activities.
In health care, cloud computing can support electronic medical records, prescription data, practice management, computerized physician order entry, billing and administration. Clouds offer flexibility and affordability, enabling providers to expand resources as their needs dictate while paying only for what they use. Cloud computing reduces the need for capital investment in IT infrastructure and speeds the deployment of new applications and software updates.
Managed applications — including cloud computing, infrastructure and software-as-a-service — can be used to more rapidly deploy software to a larger number of users across a network, and reduce the capital needed to support and manage applications over an extended period of time.
Once a health care organization enters into a third-party relationship, it faces the challenge of compliance requirements for computer networks and software that another company owns. What’s more, the organization is dependent on such third parties for the reliability and availability of mission-critical data systems, which may include applications that require instant and constant availability (e.g., clinical applications).
The new rules put a greater onus on providers and their auditors to understand all aspects of third-party ePHI risk and develop a process for minimizing it.
Organizations should establish a management process for properly vetting vendors before their selection, and then actively monitor vendor security and privacy controls to reduce the risks created by third-party relationships. To be effective, the overall process will require more formality and rigor in vendor management than in the past.

1. The list should include any smaller third-party contracts that may have been added at the department level rather than through the typical centralized review and centralized contracting channels. These smaller arrangements may actually hold some of the higher risks because the contracts may not be as complete, and smaller vendors are less inclined to have the level of controls found with larger organizations.Focus the inquiries on vendors’ controls and financial stability. Ideally, this type of risk profile should be developed by management for auditor review, but it may require the auditor to lead and/or complete the effort. If completed by the auditor, the auditor should work with management on developing a process to maintain it on a periodic basis.3. Work with management and the vendor to mitigate the most immediate threats, using concepts such as data protection and digital rights management to close risk gaps.Create standard criteria such as ethics, financial stability, good references, invoice accuracy and service quality to assess new vendors and their technologies for protecting data. In decentralizedenvironments or environments where departments can create vendor relationships without a central conduit such as purchasing or legal, ensuring this happens will be much more difficult and will requiremore internal audit consideration and efforts.5. Continue to use surveys, questionnaires and inspections to review the compliance of third parties on an ongoing basis. Year-to-year comparisons can flag potential lapses in security control environments.
You will all receive an email with a link to this whitepaper, we collaborated and created with the whitepaper subcommittee/AHIA. The whitepaper lists key questions that might be helpful to review. Health care organizations considering risks associated with third-party custodians entrusted with ePHI should first understand the implications of the Final Rule and any related state regulations, and then complete a robust risk assessment of its existing vendor relationships. A similar level of management due diligence is important before entering any contractual relationship with new vendors. Internal auditors can play a key role in such due diligence by asking management to ensure it understands if the vendor has the proper security controls in place to protect organizational data by, at a minimum, addressing these key questions.
