Health Insurance
Portability & Accountability Act |
|
|
Is your organization prepared to vault the administrative, privacy and security hurdles of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act?
HIPAA was designed to protect personal health
information while ensuring quality, coordinated
healthcare delivery. NJIT CPE will enable healthcare
providers to protect the privacy of citizens’ health
records by training them to comply with federal
mandates. Large and small health organizations
must be HIPAA compliant (at least for the first set
of regulations) by October 2002, with ongoing
additional regulations added over the next several
years. The program’s goal is to demystify the
complex requirements and enable organizations to
increase productivity while containing costs and
avoiding substantial penalties. There is a huge
audience for this training, since it affects everyone
from individual physicians to insurers, pharmacists,
hospitals, and all related health industry participants.
We can help you simplify for businesses and/or
individuals the nuances of the federal protection of our
personal health information.
NJIT's HIPAA Awareness overview course allows
healthcare owners and business managers to gain a
clear understanding of the HIPAA regulations and
their impact as well as providing an effective road
map to compliance. It also discusses New Jersey’s
Healthcare Information and Network Technologies
(HINT) laws and how they affect healthcare providers.
HIPAA legislation affects the entire healthcare community and deadlines are fast approaching.
In order to avoid penalties and realize cost savings through standardized claims processing,
your organization should prepare and implement HIPAA technology enhancements and organizational changes as soon as possible.
Doctors, hospitals and insurance companies must comply with HIPAA legislation by October 2003 or face severe penalties,
including fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to ten years.
With U.S. hospitals allocating an estimated $18 to $43 billion for HIPAA compliance over the next five years,
the ability to understand and implement HIPAA regulations will be critical for healthcare owners and business managers.
