place and compliance with the security regulations coming down the
pike, you’ve been testing, training, auditing, implementing,
monitoring, and planning for contingencies. Just about every aspect of
healthcare and patient information is affected by the HIPAA
regulations.
HIPAA Bulletin for Management can help you deal with the most important management and operational issues surrounding compliance.
PRIVACY, ACCESS, ADMINISTRATIVE SIMPLIFICATION
Dealing
with HIPAA is the single most difficult issue facing healthcare
providers, payors, and health technology vendors today. Indeed,
complying with the new regulations is the major concern in healthcare
and as well the single most pressing healthcare industry IT priority.
HIPAA
also governs how health plans will be able to pay providers, authorize
services, certify referrals and coordinate benefits. Even employers who
provide health insurance to their workers and dependents also will be
affected since they will be able to use a standard electronic format to
enroll employees.
HIPAA
compliance is not just an IT department problem. Operational healthcare
executives must become knowledgeable about the security implications.
HIPAA will not go away. The HIPAA standards affect such areas as cost
of software development and maintenance, software integration between
payors and health plans, and even the lowering of the cost of
administrative transactions.
