...HCR 240 HIPAA and Information Technology Checkpoint There are many advantages to standardized medical records. To have medical records that is readily available. The advantages of being able to access a persons medical information would help the patient, practice and many organizations gather data about a patient to make sure that the patient is receiving the best care possible. Also, this would allow getting access to a patients account regardless of where the patient is located. HIPAA is an important factor in the medical field. The issues that would arise in the launch of Online Health records, it would allow anyone with access and the right information to access the patient's information. With many married couples, most have the spouse's information. This would allow the spouses or those that know the information of a patient to access a patient's data. Although changes could not be made, personal and pertinent information could be located. The medical industry is further behind most other fields because the privacy issues and ensuring that can access the records are those that are supposed to and also to ensure that all information that is inputted is not a loss. With most information that is inputted in a patients file has some kind of magnitude. Being able to follow patient's records and to ensure that data is secure and information is accessible is the most important part of this process. If these two things can not be ensured then the medical field should...

Her primary insurance coverage is Medicare, and her secondary insurance is Blue Cross-Blue Shield. She has had several visits recently for a variety of ailments. She currently owes the practice $250 for tests that were denied by both Medicare and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Her account is now 75 days old. You spoke to her approximately 2 weeks ago, and she said that she was not financially able to pay. She also stated, “I should not have to pay because it was the doctor’s fault for ordering all of those tests that he knew Medicare wouldn’t cover. Those tests didn’t show anything anyway, he was just trying to get more money from me.” She then tells you that you should call Medicare because, “They paid for the same test for my friend. You probably put the wrong diagnosis on the paperwork, and that’s why they won’t pay.” She denies ever receiving the first collection letter that you sent. What would your next step be in the attempt to collect on Ms. Sanders’ account? Explain your rationale. How would you address Ms. Sanders’ claim that Medicare paid for the same test for her friend? Which is more important: collecting the debt or retaining the customer? Week 7 DQ 2 Many people do not think of a medical office as a business. What is the purpose of a medical...

...HIPAA and Information Technology Gina M Urso HCR/240 July 3, 2013 Reynell Turner HIPAA and Information Technology There can be several advantages of having a standardized database for health care records. One of those advantages is that the medical records of the patients can be transportable for patients. If a patient sees the doctor for a specific issue, then a couple of days later they end up in the emergency room, their records can be accessed by the emergency room doctor, and they can see the past history of the patient. The doctor would see what type of allergies the patient has so it could avoid a serious reaction. This would also help if the patient was on vacation, they would be able to access the patients records so they would be able to care properly the patient (Medical Privacy in the Electronic Age, 2013). There could be issues with HIPPA. If there are two patients with similar enough information in their file, their privacy could be effected. There also is problems with hackers. If a hacker is able to break the firewalls of the system, all the personal information and billing information could be violated (Medical Privacy in the Electronic Age, 2013). It could be said that the healthcare industry is behind other industries because the patients still want to have paper copies of their records. Some medical offices might feel that having paper records is easier because they are able to pull the records faster and manually update them. I have...

...HIPPA and Information Technology Ashley Dorr HCR/240 April 25,2012 University of Phoenix One main advantage standardized medical records databases could offer would be, any doctor that would have access to this database would have access to their patients previous medical information. This could be very useful when treating new patients, the doctor would not have to go through all the hassle of getting information personally from each doctor that the patient has seen previously. This could cut the time in half with seeing patients and also cut the amount of any problems that could occur due to lack of medical information on a patient. HIPPA problems that could occur would be, patients medical records being made public. With so many people that would have access to this database, this could cause an information leak problem. This is where HIPPA gets involved, HIPPA is supposed to protect all patients medical information from being exposed. I believe medical records technology is so far behind all other industries because it at the time was not a necessity, most offices where doing just fine with use the paper files and how they did it before the technology appeared. There were more important issues that needed to be dealt with first before moving to the medical record department. But now that technology has moved up in the medical records area most have seen how much it does benefit the system by using this. References: Microsoft Offers Online Health Records, 2008...

...Cardiovascular Disease Sharon Ocean HCR 240 March 2, 2012 Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular disease is an abnormal function of the heart or blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease can have many forms such as high blood pressure, stroke, coronary artery disease, or even valvular heart disease. The causes of cardiovascular disease range from a different amount of things. Some causes could be genetics, infection, inflammation, or structural defects. There are many possible conditions that fall under symptoms of heart disease or cardiovascular disease. There are some key symptoms to keep in mind. One is chest pain or discomfort. Chest pain is usually associated with or equal to heart pain. Many conditions can cause chest pain but never rule it out when dealing with cardiovascular disease. One extremely common symptom is palpitations. This is when you have a skip of the heartbeat or rapid and/or irregular heartbeats. Lightheadedness or dizziness is another sign. This could be caused by many illnesses but is common in cardiovascular disease. Fatigue or somnolence (daytime sleepiness) is common symptoms too. Shortness of breath is something to look for also Heart failure frequently produces shortness of breath. There are several different ways to manage your cardiovascular disease. One way is to change your way of living. You can get yourself on a routine exercise program daily to help. Change in diet and eating habits will help manage it also. One thing you really need...

...Week 2 Assignment – EMR Speech Sherry Angeletti HCR 240 University of Phoenix 8/20/2012 Electronic Medical Records Hello everyone, I am here today to talk about Electronic Medical Records (EMR). You may be asking yourself, what is an EMR? It is a digital version of a paper medical record that a physician keeps on an individual. They can only be seen by the physician and the staff of a single facility (Rouse, 2011). Eventually every practice, hospital, healthcare facility in the United States will be using Electronic Medical Records to keep track of a patient’s information. These facilities will still need to keep a paper record of a patient’s information for those times when the power may go out, and the system is not available to input what the doctor has said about the patient. Electronic Medicals Records are the same as a paper file in the sense that we input information in different sections, like a patient’s personal information, medications, vital signs results, lab work, x-rays, physician notes, diagnosis, etc. Major Features and Benefits of EMR No more repetitive typing, once an individual’s information is entered into the system it will automatically be on any documents or forms. Any information the physician puts in a progress note – such as medications, vital signs results or lab results – will be updated automatically to an individual’s chart. Some of this information can be added to an individual’s chart while the physician...
