Understand what rights HIPAA gives patients to access their medical information and how you are expected to respond to this important legal right. Since 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has not only provided significant guidance for covered entities for providing patients with timely and complete access to all or a portion of their health information but also has brought 18 separate and very costly enforcement actions against health care providers and health plans who have failed to live up to HIPAA's standards. This topic provides a timely, practical look at exactly what HHS expects a covered entity to do in recognizing and honoring patients' requests to access their health information and will help you chart (or recalibrate) your course for compliance under HIPAA.

This presentation is crucial in understanding the various requirements and landmines that must be recognized to ensure compliance with the law. There are numerous federal and state laws, rules and regulations governing the receipt, retention and disclosure of Medical Records that must be met by those who possess or maintain such records. These obligations apply whether the custodian is a medical provider, healthcare facility, an insurer, a third party that assists with healthcare services and benefits or in an educational setting. The failure to fulfill these obligations may result in significant adverse implications for all involved. These repercussions include breach of confidentiality, privacy and security, along with a breach of fiduciary duty, that may result in significant damages, and governmental penalties. Therefore, it is imperative that those who are involved with Medical Records understand the scope of such legal authority. This presentation will identify the myriad of legal sources and their underlying rights, duties and obligations that must be analyzed to ensure legal compliance, especially when responding to a request by a patient, family member and caregiver for release of Medical Records. An overview of the differences of confidentiality, privacy security along with the authority granted to those who may serve as a healthcare surrogate will be addressed along with repercussions that may occur for failing to do so. Finally, best practices in responding to record requests will be discussed.

Gain an understanding of how your business can protect its data assets on premises and in the cloud. Because the work from home movement and migration to cloud architecture has dramatically altered and increased the threat surface of business data networks, corporate boards and their CISOs need to reevaluate their data network security policies, procedures and approach to meet evolving security threats. Relying on an on-prem approach could unwittingly place valuable data assets at risk. This topic is intended to review the people, processes, and technology that can mitigate that risk.

Regardless of what field you work in, you will learn about techniques that will not only help you better train your new hires (and even your existing team!), but also leverage the time that you invest in them so that you not only retain your hires much longer, but you ensure that they thrive and are successful in their position at your company.

Gain a better understanding of how to enhance your personal leadership around the power of mindset. Most organizations have strong operational leaders. Many ascended to their leadership roles from the ranks of managers and supervisors and are adept in their operational abilities. They tend to work to maintain the status quo. Leadership does not automatically come with a position. Titles do not guarantee a manager will be a leader. Conversely, anyone can be a leader --whether you have a title or not. Organizations in the 21st century require strategic leaders who challenge the prevailing view, can act on big and small picture items at the same time and can change course as needed. They need to lead with inquiry, engagement, and advocacy while operating from a deeply held humility and respect for others. Leadership is a characteristic resulting from demonstrated and intentional actions. It requires a leader mindset. It involves having certain attitudes, beliefs, and expectations that create the foundation of who you are, how you lead others, and how you interact with and influence others. Mindset is so critical because it drives every opinion you have, every decision you make, and every action you take. It influences your relationship with others, the culture around you, and the success of your overall leadership performance. This presentation will help you to take the steps necessary to establish a leader mindset. It will focus on best practices and practical strategies to guide leaders in incorporating effective leadership components. This course will help you to believe in your ability to change your leadership mindset and step outside your comfort zone.

Learn how to use proper planning techniques to help you get things done. In the 21st century, it is common for individuals to spend more than a 40-hour work week to complete assigned projects on time.

This program shows you how important the 'up-front' stuff, meaning planning and prioritizing, is to a project that is completed on time while progressing from the assignment date to the completion date at a relaxed yet steady pace. The planning and prioritizing principles taught in this material work for long-range goals and assignments as well as daily workflow and execution. You will be amazed at how much more you can get done in the hours you spend at work and how much self-discipline you have to avoid interruptions and the company gossip grapevine.
