HIPAA and Patient Access of Information - New Rules and GuidelinesConference Panel
The top issue at the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is Individual access to health information under the 21st Century Cures Act.
New rules are proposed to require sharing of Protected Health Information (PHI) among providers and patients. The most recent HIPAA enforcement action focuses on ensuring patients are promptly provided the records they request.
Over many years, the heads of the US DHHS have indicated that patient access to information is a critical priority in order to improve the health of the nation.
Patient rights under HIPAA have been expanded to include new rights of access, and guidance has been issued on access to records.
All HIPAA-covered entities need to review their HIPAA compliance, policies, and procedures to see if they are prepared to be in full compliance and meet the requirements of the rules.
Compliance is required and violations for willful neglect of the rules begin at more than $10,000.
The head of US DHHS has indicated that providing patients access to Protected Health Information is a key priority for improving the nation’s health and guidance.
The new information-blocking regulations and proposed changes to the HIPAA regulations will be reviewed and their effects on usual practices will be discussed, as well as what policies need to be changed and how.
This Webinar will help health information professionals understand what they have to do, when, and what to keep in mind as they move forward, to comply with the regulations. These rules may go into effect in 2023 or 2024.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
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
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health
Exploring ways to reduce overall use of antimicrobials
Using the drugs that prevent and treat disease by killing microscopic organisms in a responsible way
GOAL
to prevent the generation and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Doing so will preserve the effectiveness of these drugs in animals and humans for years to come.
being to preserve human and animal health and the effectiveness of antimicrobial medications.
to implement a multidisciplinary approach in assembling a stewardship team to include an infectious disease physician, a clinical pharmacist with infectious diseases training, infection preventionist, and a close collaboration with the staff in the clinical microbiology laboratory

2. 1 GROWING TREND
CLOUD-BASED STORAGE IS A GROWING TREND IN
HEALTH CARE.
• Health care providers are using cloud storage for data collection,
aggregation, analytics, and decision making.
• By 2020, 80 percent of health care data will pass through “the cloud” at
some point in its lifetime. 1

3. 2 BUSINESS
ASSOCIATE
• According to the HIPAA Omnibus rule, cloud storage providers are business
associates and must comply with privacy and security rules.
A VENDOR DOES NOT HAVE TO VIEW PATIENT DATA
TO BE CONSIDERED A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE.
4. 3 BUSINESS ASSOCIATE
AGREEMENT (BAA)
BAA’S MAIN PURPOSE:
• To legally document and acknowledge the relationship between the
covered entity and the cloud storage provider, while also setting rules and
expectations for each party.
• The cloud storage provider must understand that they are required to take
certain steps to appropriately safeguard the privacy and security of the
data it stores.
ASK YOUR CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE
PROVIDER ABOUT WHAT TO INCLUDE IN A BAA.
5. 4 HIPAA
COMPLIANCE
JUST BECAUSE CLOUD STORAGE VENDORS
CLAIM THEY ARE “CERTIFIED HIPAA COMPLIANT”
DOES NOT MEAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE.
• Proper vetting must take place on any vendor you are considering.
• Some third parties will assess HIPAA compliance among cloud storage
providers, but such HIPAA certification is not recognized by HHS or any other
government body.
-- A cloud provider’s (or a third party reviewer’s) definition of HIPAA
compliance may not equate to the HHS definition of compliance.
6. 5 HIPAA
COMPLIANCE
YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK
1. About obtaining documentation of a quality third party assessment of vendor’s
HIPAA compliance.
2. How often does the cloud provider conduct a risk analysis and will they provide
information from their most recent risk analysis?
3. What specific security controls do they have in place? (For example, what form
of encryption is used and on what information? Who has access to the keys?)
7. 6 HIPAA
COMPLIANCE
• According to the HIPAA Omnibus rule, covered entities share the
responsibility when a business associate has a security breach, meaning
both are responsible for sending proper notifications if a security breach
occurs.
• Two separate risk assessments must occur – one must be conducted by
the cloud provider and one must be conducted by the covered entity.
8. 7 DATA STORAGE
POLICY
QUESTIONS TO ASK
• How will the vendor back up the data? How will the data be restored?
• Will the vendor’s staff ever read or look at the data? If so, in what situations?
• Under what circumstances would the vendor turn data over to law
enforcement, with or without a warrant?
• What happens if you surpass your storage limits?
• Does the vendor have a plan for returning your data if the vendor were to sell,
go out of business, or your contract is terminated?
9. 8 CONCLUSION
• When choosing a cloud storage provider, be cautious about claims of
HIPAA compliance.
• Appropriately vet the vendor and sign an appropriate BAA to ensure
patient privacy and security.
• Choose a provider that understands the requirements of the HIPAA
Omnibus rule.
