No... I'm sorry, I haven't made it yet.  The last newsletter mentioned 'The Bodies' exhibition here in Atlanta.  We discussed how important planning was to the show, AND your organization.  The intent was to visit the show and talk with someone there about, "what would happen if..."

You all have heard us discuss how important disaster recovery is to your business, or should be.  So, I will get to the subject... after I visit the show.  I really would like to share their input.  So, keep reading!

Just as I keep hearing many of you say, we have been quite busy!  For us, it's all been surrounding September 23rd, when the Omnibus Final Rule went into full effect.  For many of you, this date or law may not mean a thing.  But, it may, or it could.  Are any of your clients in the medical field?  Would you like them to be?  Then there may be things that you need to learn about the HIPAA changes. 

 

Keep in mind, too, that the physician or hospital you visit may have new forms for you to sign.  If they don't, it should give you pause.  Are they aware of the new changes?  Should you be?  If you'd like to know more about your patient privacy, contact us for helpful hints.   

 

Sincerely,

So, you have an appointment.  In Atlanta, it could be across town, or across the street.  You need to calculate how long it will take to get there.  Do you consider the challenges traffic presents?  Is school close to getting out?  Or, you've had the conversation with a co-worker or friend or your partner about where you're headed and your time estimates are... very different.  OR better yet, GPS gives an estimate and you say, "I can beat that".
