3-Hour Virtual Seminar on MACRA & MIPS - HIPAA Rules for Text Messaging & Email

Patient Engagement is widely recognized as essential for improving the quality of healthcare in the United States. Coordination of Care through Patient Engagement is a cornerstone of MACRA and revisions of Federal healthcare payment policy. Certified Electronic Health Record Technology (CEHRT) includes secure patient portals and secure messaging. Encrypted text message and email products are available from vendors. But patients overwhelmingly choose easy-to-use unencrypted email and text messaging systems. Tens of thousands of unencrypted appointment reminders, healthcare instructions, patient satisfaction surveys, health and wellness newsletters and recall reminders are sent every day exposing Healthcare Providers to unnecessary, easily avoidable risks. HIPAA provides a simple, but little known "Safe Harbor" for Healthcare Providers that permits unencrypted email and text message transmissions to a patient.

OSHA Recordkeeping and Reporting

OSHA requires that businesses maintain a running account of injuries and illness that occur in the workplace. The logs must be completely and accurately filled in and completed. At the end of the year, these figures must be reported to OSHA or other report collection agencies to determine if the rate of injuries and illnesses falls within the norm for that industry sector. Although not a recommended practice, some businesses use these figures as a measure of the success or failure of their safety programs. Over reporting injuries and illnesses or under reporting such numbers can result in problems, both internally in a company, as well as with the regulatory agency. Accurate reporting is imperative, and is a good tool to use in determining problem areas in the company's business operation.

Key Factors to Develop HIPAA Policies and Procedures

One of the major requirements of the health care organization to be HIPAA compliant is to develop and implement a set of HIPAA privacy and security policies and procedures. This can be a daunting task for those not knowing where to start and what a set of HIPAA privacy and security policies and procedures should look like. For the cost conscious health care organization, the HIPAA policies and procedures can have multiple uses: first, they can become a basis for training the health care organization workforce second, they can be used as a basis for conducting a HIPAA self-assessment and third, they can be used to demonstrate due diligence should there be a breach or an external HIPAA compliance audit.

Issues with Consent Documents

According to current statistics, more than 90 million people in the United States have a hard time understanding and using health information. This is as many people as there are in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. To respond to this growing needed, President Obama signed the Plain Writing Act of 2010 and two other executive orders to cover the use of plain language. Use of Plain Language gets researchers closer to the historically used 6th to 8th grade level as the target for written consent documents. There are other tips as well that can improve the readability and acceptably of a consent document.

De-Identification of PHI under HIPAA - Follow the Guidance to Avoid Penalties

Today health information needs to be shared more than ever, but how can that be done most easily within the limits of HIPAA? One way is to de-identify the information. Once PHI has been de-identified, it is no longer protected under HIPAA and may be shared freely without limitation. The problem is that it is not easy to truly de-identify information and if it is not done correctly, the sharing of the information may be considered a breach that requires reporting to HHS and the potential for penalties and corrective action plans.
