Patient portals offer many functions to allow a patient or proxy access to healthcare information to help improve patient healthcare. Within the patient portal a patient can access a portion of their health record; such as “medical history, health issues, medication lists, test results, care plans, allergy list,” schedule appointments, view and pay bills online, request medication refills, fill out forms electronically, and upload clinical information (Sayles 331). In addition, there are other functions that Surae Lucie took advantage of to help get her mother’s health back on track that are recommended by the National Learning Consortium. She used proxy access to access her elderly mother’s record, and sent messages to her mother’s healthcare providers to get her mother’s medication dosage and

The system requires the patient and the physician to have access to the Internet, computing devices and login-in credentials. Both physicians and patients would require a username and a secured password to access the portal. Given patient consent, it should be possible to add others as “caretakers” to have access to a filtered view of a patient’s plan for treatment administration.

The new user policy section has been modified to require manager approval and validation of the user’s access request based upon the user’s role. Previously the policy only required manager approval for user’s requiring administrator privileges. In accordance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards on access controls, users will have the minimum access required to perform the functions of their job in order to protect against unnecessary access to electronic protected health information (ePHI).

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed by congress in 1996, and helps to ensure the privacy and security of Electronic Health Records (EHR's). By following the rules and regulations set forth under HIPAA, we can ensure the safety of patients' EHR's. We are responsible for protecting patients' records, and there are many measures we can take in order do this. Firstly, we must always keep patients' health information private. This means no discussing the records with people that are not authorized to know, and even then, we should only disclose the minimum necessary amount of information possible. For covered entities, we must designate a privacy and security officer to ensure the privacy

As an individual of your district and someone who has been on government welfare, I wish you’d take hunger in America more serious. There are currently 50 million Americans who suffer from food insecurity and unfortunately, 1 in 6 children may not know where they’ll get their next meal. On account of these reasons, more and more families rely on food banks and pantries. Sure, there are assistant programs such as WIC and SNAP but a lot of individuals have a really hard time getting accepted due to such strict or as I see it, picky guidelines. Even for those who are accepted, families lean more towards buying unhealthy foods because fruits and vegetables tend to be more expensive. Due to all these factors, I advise a few ways you could help reduce hunger in our population by first,

Ultimately, for more than a century the institution of higher learning now known as Alcorn State University has been devoted to the outstanding education of black students. Historically established for this purpose, however Alcorn has definitely struggled against many great odds. The new history of Alcorn shows the unrelenting love and support of its community and alumni as they face the challenges making major modifications to century-old traditions. Founded in 1871, Alcorn State University is the oldest historically black land-grant institution in the United States and the second oldest state supported institution in the state of Mississippi. The college is located outside of Lorman in Claiborne County area. Alcorn was first known as Oakland College, a school for white students that was proven to be

Any patient that is seen by a physician within the United States is to be protected by the “Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act” or HIPAA, which was passed into law in 1996 (Jani, 2009). All health care facilities dealing with any protected health information (PHI) are to ensure that all physical/electronic processes are safeguarded from any third party entity or unauthorized personnel according to HIPAA. All health care data to include any medical insurance

Privacy legislation and the legal complexities surrounding the ownership and management of patient information, many physicians are wary about when they may or may not release such information to patient and other parties. All patients have the right to the information in their medical records. In certain situations the physicians have the right to refuse the release of patient information to the patient, if the have any reason to believe that the disclosed information would have a reverse effect on the patient’s mental, physical, emotional health, or cause harm to a third party. When needed to be transferred a copy of the information may be sent directly from the former physician to the new one. In other circumstance the patient can receive the record themselves and hand it directly to the new physician. It is recommended that the original files are not released, instead a photocopy or scan of it may be sent. A physician may release patient information to lawyers and other parties when requested to do so only if the patient or the patient's substitute decision-maker has given authorization, preferably in writing, or if authorized by law or a court order.When information is

This paper will also discuss criminal and civil penalties’ that can occur for breaking HIPAA privacy rules.

The department of Health and Human Services protects and guides the health and well being of individuals here in America (Thacker, 2014). They fulfill these duties providing Americans with adequate and efficient health and human services and monitoring services designed to increase the efficiency of care in the health system (Thacker, 2014). One of the services being monitored by the department of Health and Human Services is the electronic health record system, which carries private and vital information of patient’s health record enabling all eligible participating health workers access to these records (Thacker, 2014). A breach of the protective health information of patients in a health organization creates chaos as these are against the health insurance portability and accountability (HIPAA) law (Thacker, 2014). Hence, measure will have to be put in place to determine what caused the breach and how to rectify it to ensure the breach never happens again (Thacker, 2014).

Movies are complex and intricate pieces of art. Most viewers only are concerned with the story and plot of the movie, completely overlooking the nuances of the set and camera angles. So much thought and work goes into making a movie that goes unnoticed for the most part. Camera angles and distance, sound, lighting, and editing all add as much, if not more, to the story as the plot itself does. Sound is one of the most obvious elements of a movie, in X-Men: Days of Future Past, nearly every second the movie emits some kind of sound.
