HIPAA Resources CD Rom
HIPAA Resources is an ambitious project designed to explain and simplify one of thr most comprehensive and far-reaching pieces of healthcare legislation ever passed. Since its implementation in 1996, HIPAA has imposed upon healthcare providers, their boards, employees, suppliers and affiliates an obligation to follow rigorous and detailed rules about electronic information creation, storage, retrieval, privacy and security; about billing, coding, claims submission and reimbursement; and perhaps most important, about quality care for all patients and an industry wide commitment to scientific, business and moral excellence.Our Medical Division has synthesized vast amounts of information on HIPAA available at forums, conventions, trade shows, and in journals, magazines and professional trade materials, all widely - and confusingly - available. HIPAA Resources makes a complex and multi-faceted law simple and easy. It takes away the "mystery" and removes intimidating language to reveal a step-by-step program, derived from the web's best sources, that individuals and organizations can implement with confidence. Just like "Compliance Resources", we have broken it down into clear sections:
