A Complete HIPAA Training Solution!

Certainly... We said that! 


Can you believe it's almost August. Soon the trips will end, and the kids will be back in school. Traffic will pick back up again, and it's business as usual. Not that you really ever stopped working. It's just things seem to slow down during the summer months.

The articles this month should contribute to administrative organization, things we sometimes don't consider. The data you have been charged with is undoubtedly very valuable. It can also be critical, as it relates to patient care. 

We constantly mention protecting data. That may not only include guarding your systems. Simple office procedures can contribute to risk. As technology continues to take us farther, it might be a good time to check simple processes, and prepare for whatever is around the corner.


Sincerely,

Duplicate Records 
Application Collaboration Can be Risky 


 

Seeing things from an outside perspective is always interesting. Visiting our clients, I often learn how different people use different technology in different ways. Some don't use it very much at all. Others are dependent on what's been provided to them by their company.  Still others are all over the board trying the next best thing and have all of the latest devices. Some aren't security conscience at all, while others are locked down tighter than Ft. Knox (I wonder who could tell me where that expression originated).  


 

Well, discussing technology with one client, we mentioned contacts. Now, I can't remember how many (or few) they had, but...  Reducing duplicates...

How Can You Overcompensate?

I'm a walker. As we've read in past Kardon posts, there are several benefits to walking. It can help clear the mind and contribute to cardiovascular health and weight loss; although the last one seems to elude me. As a pedestrian, I always face oncoming traffic and stay as far to the left as possible. When I see oncoming traffic, I move over into the grassy areas.

Walking, I observe several incidents of laws being broken; every single day that I walk. Other than texting, speeding is the biggest violation. You see, I walk on a 35 mph road. I can usually tell when that's not happening pretty quickly. Not only visibly, but when I hear what sounds like a twin engine plane taking off, I'm pretty sure I need to get over. Walking and HIPAA?
