HIPAA Resources from
Health Resources Publishing...
Working to comply with the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) should now be at the top of any health or managed care organization priority list. To assist you with understanding the myriad requirements of HIPAA and to help your organization assess what it must be doing, Health Resources Publishing has been developing a series of resources.
Following is what is currently available now:
HIPAA for Healthcare Vendors, a new Audio Conference.
According to every industry survey, HIPAA remains the single most pressing
challenge facing healthcare providers, payers, and their vendors. Suppliers,
staff, and products and services need to be HIPAA-ready. Only covered entities
must be HIPAA compliant by the federal deadlines. But, services or solutions
must be able to help healthcare client covered entity become HIPAA compliant.
The topics include: vendor awareness of legal requirements, identifying
vendors’ role in compliance, how vendors’ top management can
communicate the importance of HIPAA with staff, how vendors must meet the
needs of covered entity clients understanding what procedures need to be
me, HIPAA policies and procedures for vendors, if vendors are offering
products that support coordination of benefits using the information flow,
and if the framework is in place to alert users to scheduled encounters.
To help vendors address these challenges, HIPAA for Healthcare Vendors, an audio conference sponsored by HIPAA Bulletin for Management, Thursday, September 12, 2002 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time. To register, go to: http://www.healthresourcesonline.com/edu/hipvend.htm
