For most hospitals, providing the Notice of Privacy Practices and ensuring adequate documentation and support for privacy rights will consume a lot of your resources this week. I have attached a PowerPoint presentation that may assist you in this effort. You may need to modify this PowerPoint presentation to reflect your business processes, your technology, and your policies and procedures.
I would welcome any "gotcha's," "lessons learned," or advise from the frontline that you are willing to share concerning provision of the Notice of Privacy Practices and informing individuals about the facility directory. I will consolidate and present this information to subscribers of ShareHIPAA. If you would like to contribute, please send the information to me directly at mcgowin@....
Hopefully your provision of the Notice of Privacy Practices is going smoothly. You may be taking advantage of technology to automate the tracking of acknowledgements of the Notice of Privacy Practices, preferences for the Facility Directory, and individuals exercising their privacy rights.
Acknowledgement Monitor is a system that provides for many of the issues addressed in the attached PowerPoint presentation and was developed by MediData.med, Inc. I have reviewed about two dozen products with the same objective. I have not found a better product for content, ease of use, or ease of implementation. Acknowledgement Monitor is scaleable and the most affordable product that I have evaluated. MediData.med, Inc. has been very responsive to my questions and is dedicated to ensuring that Acknowledgement Monitor provides a complete usable solution. I recommend Acknowledgement Monitor without reservation. If you would be interested in viewing an on-line demonstration or receive additional information about Acknowledgement Monitor please contact me, or -
