“It is rare to find a technology person who also understands the healthcare business and concepts around patient management – Doug is that individual. I had the pleasure of working with him for four years at Alere, where I was a major stakeholder for the Apollo Wellness and Care Management Platform build that was developed by his technology team. Doug not only grasps healthcare but would often go out of his way to really comprehend what a clinician experienced when talking to a patient or when a member logged in to the health portal for guidance and education. Doug is an excellent technology leader would be an asset to any executive team.”

Medical services are offered by various facilities near a patient's residence. The number of facility optimization procedures continues to grow and the patients and facilities can now apply new logic processes and patient incentives, etc., to maximize efficiency and budgetary concerns. One example method of operation provides receiving a request to schedule a medical care visit at a medical facility from a user device associated with a user account, scheduling the first appointment for a first appointment time on an appointment list and identifying an open appointment time in the appointment list for the same day. The method may also include transmitting a notification to the user device associated with a user account that is eligible for an appointment rescheduling event, and receiving a response message confirming a schedule change responsive to the notification being transmitted the user device.

🔒 The Essential Guide to HIPAA Risk Assessments—and Why They’re Non-Negotiable 🔒 HIPAA risk assessments are more than a regulatory box to check—they’re your organization’s first line of defense against data breaches, fines, and reputation risk. Done right, these assessments can help uncover potential vulnerabilities in your systems, identify areas for stronger safeguards, and cultivate a culture of privacy that patients trust. 🏥 Here’s a quick look at what goes into an effective HIPAA risk assessment: ➡️ Identify Your Risks: Pinpoint where PHI is accessed and stored, including any hidden vulnerabilities (think: outdated software, unsecured devices). ➡️ Evaluate Safeguards: Assess existing controls across physical, technical, and administrative areas and close any security gaps. ➡️ Prioritize Risks: Based on likelihood and impact, prioritize action steps that will protect your patients and organization the most. ➡️ Document and Act: HIPAA demands a solid paper trail. Document findings and continuously monitor progress to stay audit-ready. If this sounds complex, that’s because it is! Compliance doesn’t have to be overwhelming, though. Formiti’s HIPAA Compliance Service offers expert-guided risk assessments to streamline the process, helping you stay secure, compliant, and confident. With our support, HIPAA compliance becomes simpler, effective, and manageable. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eJAZp-Pm #HIPAA #RiskAssessment #DataSecurity #Compliance #HealthcareInnovation #Formiti #HIPAAriskassessments

Important Update for Healthcare Professionals: Changes to NPDB User Accounts Beginning in January 2025, the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) will adopt a new policy requiring user account activity at least once every 60 days. This change aligns with the NIST Special Publication 800-53 AC-2(3) to enhance security by reducing risks associated with inactive accounts. Accounts inactive for over 60 days will receive a warning email 10 days before deactivation. Additionally, users will be prompted with a one-time code sent via email upon their first login after a period of inactivity. If your account becomes inactive, reactivation is straightforward: 1. Upon your first sign-in attempt after 60 days, you will receive an email with a one-time code. 2. Use this code to reactivate and access your account. For more details, visit the link: https://lnkd.in/eHVeMN4b Please share this update with your network to ensure that healthcare providers are aware of these important changes. #NPDB #HHS #Compliance #Credentialing #HealthcareLaw #Healthcare
