It's here! We have mentioned the launch in the last couple of newsletters, and it is now live. We still have a few final steps to complete, but you can read all about the new product and program details at www.kardonhq.com.If you notice, our new division logo is also here. As I mentioned last month, we have moved the K-Comply product to Kardon Compliance, and have added K-Complete. It's fitting, then, that the articles in this month's issue focus on the details of your compliance. More than just a report, and more than simply satisfying the Meaningful Use requirement, our new offerings are meant to assist you and your staff with understanding what HIPAA compliance means specifically in your office. We have heard your requests, and we understand how difficult it is for you to track and monitor the required steps and procedures that HIPAA entails. Visit the new site. Look around. Watch the videos. Then reach out to us. We are here to help!
Sincerely, Brian G. Wilson Kardon Technology

How Many Things Can I Be Missing?
The Many Facets of HIPAA
 Another HHS settlement. $800,000 for Parkview Health System because 'employees, with notice that the physician was not at home, left 71 cardboard boxes of medical records unattended on his driveway'. That's not even ePHI, which so many think they are trying to protect by assessing their systems. Just boxes and boxes of... PHI. Who was in charge of this procedure that day and thought that would be fine?
How about this report about the idiot who stole two laptops (worth $5,600), and sold them for $14 worth of gas money. The assumed security on these two units were determined by...
