This case study describes how a combination of leading-edge PB solutions is helping this State agency to meet complex mailing requirements while reducing costs, improving efficiency, and protecting data integrity.

whitepaper A Prescription for Success: Compliance With the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)á2005-08-22 03:00:04 On-Line Consultant Software
  The paper outlines that HIPAA is in direct conflict with state law. HIPAA requires providers to provide patientsùfree of charge, upon request, once each calendar yearùan accounting of all disclosures of the past six years. Some states allow a handling or copying fee to be charged, and others require more than six years to be accounted. HIPAA provides a good rule of thumb for settling differences between state and federal law: the rule that affords greater protection to patient information, or greater rights to patients, is the governing rule. It sets a minimum standard for information protection and patient rights.   
whitepaper Top Five Priorities Among CEOs2005-08-22 03:00:04 On-Line Consultant Software
  The paper depicts about a survey, which reveals that Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance headed the top five list of healthcare organizations' business concerns for the next two years. It is hard to imagine achieving even basic HIPAA compliance in a paper-based emergency department. Emergency nurses and physicians are relatively easy to track because they typically sign their entries. Thus, only a full-function emergency department management system (FFEDMS) - with predefined user security levels and automatic date, time and user authentication-is capable of achieving what HIPAA regulations envision.   
whitepaper HIPAA Regulation Compliance on the Heels of y2k2005-08-22 03:00:04 On-Line Consultant Software
  The paper highlights that the healthcare industry is undergoing an evolution. With the proliferation of managed care, declining reimbursements, and national Medicare legislation and compliance, reliable information is critical now more than ever. In an era of technological advancement, electronic commerce has emerged as the most important paradigm, not only in healthcare, but also across the spectrum of industries. HIPAA regulations mandate security and privacy provisions to protect the integrity and confidentiality of patient information, EDI standards and national identifiers for providers, payers, employers, and patients. HIPAA security and privacy regulations focus on policy and procedure, mandating technology only as necessary to enforce those policies and procedures.
