| Privacy and Health, HIPAA 2003: Final Privacy Rule Compliance Details |
|
|
| |
| Description |
 |
The HIPAA Privacy Rule mandates certain behaviors by healthcare entities as regards the flow of health information. This book begins with an analysis of the context in which the Rule arises and follows with a cohesive interpretation of the Rule. Then a complete manual for a small healthcare entity is presented. That small entity manual has been widely acclaimed, as witnessed by Donna Rieck, R.N., M.H.A., Des Moines, Iowa: the best HIPAA manual possible. The information is just what is needed -- put in easy-to-read, understandable terms with great sample forms and other helpful aids. In the chapter ‘Scaling-Up’ models based on person-hours for implementing privacy compliance and for maintaining that compliance show many interesting tradeoffs. Training typically accounts for the lion’s share of implementation costs. The implementation cost can be cut in half by reducing training time per person. Entities benefit from economies of scale and are challenged to work together and to simplify solutions. The targeted audience is people working with healthcare organizations that have some management, leadership, policy, or information systems responsibility. No comparable book on privacy exists. Other books on HIPAA privacy have a legal perspective, whereas this book has a systems perspective. **Please note an additional $5 will be added to all international orders |
