Title : 2013 Information Management Chapter: Privacy & Confidentiality
Speaker : Sue Dill
Webplay Recording Date : 4-9-2013
Webplay Price : $ 200 for two weeks viewing
Webinar Overview:
This program will cover the 8 standards in the current Joint Commission Information Management (IM) chapter. Maintaining privacy has become much more challenging, especially in the electronic era. Violation of the privacy standards can result in patients being able to sue, action by the Office of Civil Rights, enforcement by the state attorney general, compliance issue with both the Joint Commission and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and more. This is also important in light of increased HIPAA audits. This has become more detailed in light of HITECH and recent federal laws and final changes to HITECH, privacy and security rules effective September 23, 2013. Hospitals are under more scrutiny to protect patient confidentiality.
TJC revised IM.02.02.03, EP 13, effective July 1, 2013, to address the section of California law that addresses the detailed reporting requirements for specific radiation exposure and events that exceed specified radiation dose parameters. All hospitals should be paying attention to this issue to prevent radiation over-exposure for CT scans for diagnostic purposes as well as for diagnosing strokes. Hospitals should consider documenting in the medical record the radiation dose for each CT scan when possible.
