him stretch his legs for about half an hour he was loaded into the vehicle for the drive back to Fort Bragg. Scott went to the attending Soldier and asked what more needed to be done. The Soldier handed him Baks medical records and a plaque presented to him by the unit, said “He’s yours,” and that was it. No paper work to sign, no hand receipt; just a dog, a crate, a muzzle, and some medical records. Not even a list of commands Bak could follow. As was stated before, MWDs are equipment by military standards and the army will do the absolute minimum to insure they can continue to work. Over the next three months the family spent almost five thousand dollars to determine what the extent of Baks service injuries were, what allergies he suffered from, and what type of food he could eat. The tail issue turned out to be in his medical records. He had suffered from what is called happy tail. MWDs unlike the K9 police dogs used by civilians do not go home with the handler at the end of shift. They live in an 8 foot by 10 foot concrete kennel when not on duty. Happy tail is the result of continued slamming of the tail against the walls while wagging that result in open sores that do not heal. In Baks case it was so severe that the Veterinarian decided to just remove the tail. Unfortunately for Bak the Veterinarian removed the tail to close to the hips resulting in him having a difficult time completely expressing his feces. By the time all that was sorted out Bak was a
Healthcare organizations have been tasked to explicitly define organizational requirements for what their facility maintains as a legal health record and maintains as a designated record set. The requirement that healthcare facilities maintain a designated record set, in addition to a legal health record, is a HIPAA privacy rule (AHIMA, 2011). While all healthcare organizations will uniquely define both record sets, in order to be in compliance with HIPAA their definitions must contain common principles (AHIMA, 2011).
Policy Statement: Medical records must be completed in accordance with The Joint Commission, federal, state, and Medical Staff rules and regulations.

To ensure that information remains secure, medical providers must ensure that records are safeguarded and that only authorized and trained personnel have access to them. Protected information cannot be shared without the patient's consent. Consent is not needed to share information to coordinate care, for billing purposes, to protect public health or when providers are legally required to report injuries, such as gunshot wounds. HIPPA gives patients the right to request copies of their medical records and request corrections if information is inaccurate.
Service dogs have to follow distinctive guidelines to become a certified service dog. Service dogs must be able to respond to commands (basic obedience and skilled tasks), be able to respond to hand or voice signals asking the dog to come, sit, stay, lie down, and heeling. This specific training method is where the dog is able to maintain a relative position to the handler, regardless of how the handler moves (Kirsten). As a result, to make sure service dogs show the capability of helping their owner, they need to perform at least three tasks to alleviate some of the client's difficulties with their disability. Dogs should be spayed or neutered, have current vaccinations, and are required a minimum of 120 hours of training for each dog by a

I called for a litter and directed he be secured and ready to move, meanwhile contacting the Command Post to provide a situation report and moving to check on other casualties at the CCP. At this time I had twelve that needed evacuation and eight more walking wounded. There were barely enough lucid Soldiers to pull security, but my biggest problem was that the QRF had not arrived yet. Searching for an improvised solution for the PL who I believed was expectant at this point, I saw an Afghan National Army truck parked nearby with a driver who seemed as though he was trying to help. I directed that the PL be loaded onto the back of the pickup truck with two ambulatory Soldiers who could pull security on both the surroundings and the driver. I sent the medic to monitor his airway. The interpreter conveyed my directions to the driver to take the Soldiers straight to our Entry Control Point at the AP, and I instructed the PL’s security to take the vehicle by any means necessary if the driver did not follow directions. Our Platoon Leader was now conscious and responsive, and I told him where he was going and why. Less than fifteen minutes after the attack, the PL and his fight for life was on his way to next level care. As the truck pulled off our 3rd Platoon arrived as QRF.

As the administrator of University Hospital, I am trying to figure out why there is an increase in missing medical records, causing physician dissatisfaction, and delayed billing.
