A note from Connie:

I am forwarding this to some of those Leaders who we know have gone through or are considering Accreditation.  I know some of you have gotten HIPAA Training in the past, but you might appreciate an update related to new requirements.

 

We had one of our consultants, attend last week, and she shared that the benefits to you would be the following:

1. Valuable websites

2. Description of a breech.

3. Secure transcription by their definition.

 

It is always beneficial to obtain education updates, and certainly this would fall into a worthwhile category.  If you feel anyone else would benefit from this info, feel free to pass it along.

 

Keeping you posted,

Connie

New HIPAA Rules - Meeting Requirements for New Patient Rights and New Restrictions on Disclosures

Overview:
New changes modifying the HIPAA Privacy and Security Regulations are going into place to meet the privacy and security mandates within the HITECH Act in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The changes include establishing new rights for individuals as well as changes to the limitations on uses and disclosures. New requirements for patient access to records and requirements to notify individuals in the event of a breach are only two of the many areas affected in the new law, including new requirements for restriction and accounting of disclosures and increased enforcement activity. 

Areas covered in the session:
  • The new regulations will be reviewed and their effects on usual practices will be discussed, as well as what policies need to be changed and how.
  • Learn how the new regulations change the way individuals have access to their records, and how much they can find out about who has accessed their records.
  • Find out about how individuals can now request certain restrictions on disclosures that you must honour.
  • Learn about the new requirements for disclosers of health information to apply "minimum necessary" standards.
  • Find out about how new limitations on marketing and fund-raising may change how entities can reach out to individuals.
  • The features that must be available in EHR systems and the questions to ask system vendors will be described. The processes for responding to requests for copies of electronic records and accountings of disclosures will be related to the regulations that require them.
  • The role of business associates will be discussed, and the extension of some new requirements out to them by way of their use of Designated Record Set data will be explored, including potential necessary changes to business associate agreements.
  • Learn all about how new audit and penalty requirements increase the need to make sure you are in compliance before HHS OCR knocks on the door.
  • We will show what policies and evidence you need to produce if you are audited by the HHS Office of Civil Rights. Now that there is a legislative mandate to audit compliance, and a random audit plan under way, you need to be prepared to respond to audit requests.
