Overview


Hot new topics include:

  • Did you know you have to report all Privacy Breaches to OCR for the period Sept 23rd thru Dec 31st by March 1 and maybe to patients within 45 days?

  • Did you know Privacy enforcement starts at the end of February and the Feds expect you to be ready. Kelly McLendon has already written over 30 different Policies and Procedures, Forms and Logs to accomplish these tasks.

  • Also if you don’t start working on getting your EHR you won’t get the full amount of reimbursement, 2010 is a key year for this…

This seminar will teach you how to manage those processes.

  • HIPAA Expansion for Privacy Including Full Breach Notification, New Restrictions, the coming Accounting of Disclosures Rules,

  • Certified EHR Meaningful Use for Incentive $$

  • Increasingly important Legal Health Record considerations and how they fit into HIPAA requirements


These two professionals offer real world guidance and expertise in a setting that encourages interaction between the speakers and the attendees. Each of the presenters have educated and entertained literally thousands of healthcare professionals over the years and individually have seen high attendance and speaker evaluation ratings. Together they form a team that will address a very wide scope of material related to HIPAA Expansion, ARRA Incentive monies for Certified EHR Meaningful use, Legal Health Records and Electronic Health Records for both hospitals and other venues of care such as Long Term, Psychiatric, Hospice and any number of Ambulatory settings from single physician practices to multi-specialty clinics. The meeting format is very open, audience questions and concerns will be answered by the entire presentation team throughout the sessions.

Detailed tools and how to accomplish meeting the Privacy and Incentive $$ challenges will be the main areas of focus.

"This was one of the best and most helpful seminars I have attended in a very long time and would definitely recommend it. Speakers were excellent, well informed, and willing to explore answers when unable to provide them immediately."
