Staying up to date on the newest health care information and acquiring new patients takes time. HIPAA compliance takes time. But both goals can be accomplished - in fact, a good compliance program can make you even more competitive because compliance helps protect and grow your business and sets you apart from your competitors. For example, knowing how to use social media and electronic communications within HIPAA rules is key to staying competitive. Also, managing risks is critical to reducing exposure from breaches or cybercrime. HIPAA Risk Analysis - Risk Management is the basis of the HIPAA Compliance Program of every Covered Entity and Business Associate. But mandatory HIPAA Compliance Audits conducted by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the HIPAA enforcement arm of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), found 94% of Covered Entities failed the Risk Management Audit and 87% failed the Risk Analysis Audit. And every audited Covered Entity knew well in advance that it was on the short list to be audited, had completed pre-audit questionnaires and knew the exact questions it would be asked and documentation to be provided (audit protocols). This seminar will demonstrate how Covered Entities and Business Associates can comply calmly, confidently and completely with the HIPAA Rules. The secret is - HIPAA Rules are easy and routine to follow - when you know the steps. Paul Hales will capture your attention with visual presentations and interactive learning exercises that take mystery and fear out of HIPAA Compliance.

These applications are, in turn, depended upon a qualified infrastructure that can be relied upon to provide control and regulatory compliance. The consequences of the IT Infrastructure being out of compliance can result in the failure of an entire site or geographic region being brought to a standstill while the compliance issue is resolved. It can also result in regulatory citations during a regulatory inspection as both the infrastructure be out of compliance and also cause the computerized applications that are dependent on it to be out of compliance. The impact of such compliance issues on a regulated company can be significant: it can result in recalls of products, warning or untitled letters, import alerts, injunctions, seizures, legal action, etc. These regulatory actions can have significant financial impact to the company. However, and most importantly, data integrity issues can lead to potential patient harm!! Effective IT Infrastructure Qualification on the other hand, confers the following benefits. • Ensures GxP compliance • Reduces duplication of effort • Ensures adherence to standards • Enhances the flow of information throughout an information system • Promotes adaptability and agility necessary for a changeable environment • Ensures interoperability among organizational and external entities • Maintains effective change management policies and practices Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

The Minnesota Scapula Course is organized by University of Minnesota - Continuing Professional Development and will be held on Sep 15, 2018 at TRIA Orthopaedic Center, Bloomington, Minnesota, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is orthopaedic surgeons interested in the operative indications and treatment of scapula fractures. Conference Description: Scapula fractures have traditionally been thought of as rare injuries that for the most part heal fine with benign neglect. Part of the rationale for this approach is that the shoulder has universal motion and can compensate for deformity and loss of glenohumeral motion. Current research has shown that non operatively treated patients with significantly displaced scapula fractures may have reduced strength, motion, and an increased likelihood of malunion. Other studies have shown operative treatment to restore strength and motion post-operatively. These findings have sparked an interest for the operative treatment of scapula fractures and validated the necessity to provide the education that will make treatment of these injuries available to patients. This course will Increase width and depth of understanding of Scapula fractures and their treatment, with a purpose to improve the lives of patients who have suffered and are suffering from these injuries. Educational Objectives: Following completion of this activity, learners should be better able to: • Describe the historical and contemporary interpretation of scapula fractures. • Explain the proper examination and diagnostic strategies for surgical candidates. • Discuss the operative indications in the context of a patient’s desired function. • Execute common approaches to treat scapula fractures. • Perform the most helpful reduction techniques for the most common fracture patterns. • Practice typical fixation schemes for scapula fractures. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
