Patient requests for a few specific types of PHI may be refused by the healthcare entity, such as psychotherapy notes as well as information considered to be potentially harmful to the patient or to other individuals. In that case, the patient has the right to have the denied request reviewed for a second opinion from a licensed healthcare professional (Thacker 2003)
Clooney expressed dismay at the severity of the punishment. After all, as the author states, was the hospital served without the services of 27 curious, but otherwise harmless employees for an entire month? (Brill, 2007, 2105)
Outside of the area of EMR, other issues regarding the ability of the head nurse to assign staffing for the personnel on their floor, including CNAs under their control. HIPAA interpretations can affect the use of clinical protocols is the interpretation of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations by restricting the CNAs from their access to the resident chart, even though they carry out many patient interventions under the direction of the nursing staff (Colon-Emeric, et
This leads into HIPAA issues with regard to EMR that figure so largely in the new legislation. Such technologies include electronic records, cell phone text encrypting, wireless networks and RFID technology (Kerr, 2009, 315-317)
In the Journal of Rehabilitation Nursing, it emphasizes the need for nurse reports to be HIPAA compliant. For this reason, the authors Law and Amato call for an information sheet on HIPAA to be included in all hospital manuals, including nurse reporting manuals so that they and the CNAs are sensitized to the laws stipulations with regard to hospital documents and reports (Laws & Amato, 2010, 73)
0 and HIPAA. Leonard makes an interesting observation which should be obvious but bares repeating: those who own the database will be responsible for HIPAA compliance (Leonard, 2010, 9)
Indeed, it has even affected nursing research. In one journal article published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, a longitudinal study regarding dental nurses ended up de-identifying patient data collected before the advent of HIPAA in order to make sure that sensitive patient data was protected, even though those patients were no longer part of the study due to death or due to their family choosing another nursing home for their care (Levy, Radcliff, Williams & Hutt, 2009, 57)
The Act requires that individually identifiable health information that is transmitted or physically transported outside a health care unit, it requires encrypted or rendered scrambled unauthorized individuals. There are extra penalties for violations on the sale of individual patient information or its unauthorized use for marketing/fund raising and the Act strengthens enforcement and oversight (Manchikanti & Hirsch, 2009, 299)

In another study regarding stroke survivors who were being surveyed in a nursing study, HIPAA problems were headed off by having the participants to sign a HIPAA waiver so that the strictures of the law did not restrict the study (Ostwald, Davis, Hersch, Kelley & Godwin, 2010, 175)
The beauty of the electronic medium is that of copy and paste. A set of HIPAA guidelines can be included with every report made as an EMR (Phillippi & Buxton, 2010, 472-475)
In the ongoing project, participation is be open to all individuals and institutions in the nation. APS is working on issues such as the consensus on data elements and developing software for the HIPAA compliant project (Zaslansky, Chapman & Meissner, 2009)
Bearing that the entity may switch to the electronic exchange system, there could be changes that require the entity to address such changes in the accessing, utilizing as well as disclosing the personal information. There is need for such adjustments to take care of the possible emerging non-compliance in an electronic environment with the accompanying sanctions (Office for Civil Rights, 2011)
This has to be accompanied by an authorization form from HIPPA that must be signed by you as the owner of the information. The parents of an individual under the age of 18 years are however allowed to access information freely about their child, but beyond that, they have to get the authorization from the owner of the information (Privacy Rights Clearinghouse/UCAN., 2011)
Moreover, women also perceive the glass ceiling, sensing that there are unofficial, unspoken constraints on their career success that have nothing to do with merit (Jackson, 2001). Not only the glass ceiling something that is perceived by those at the middle management level, but it also persists at the level of corporate boards, where such a phenomenon is highly-visible and therefore theoretically more subject to public scrutiny (Arken, Bellar & Helms, 2004)
Their findings show that gender inequality with respect to wages, and opportunity, increases the higher up the corporate ladder you go. There is evidence that females have lower rates of holding positions of authority than do men (Baxter & Wright, 2000)

This law was passed because of concerns about fraud, but has a number of other implications for health care practice. Some of the objectives of HIPAA are to "improve the portability and continuity of health insurance coverage in the group and individual markets," to "combat waste and fraud," to "promote the use of health savings accounts," to "improve access to long-term care," to "simplify the administration of health insurance," "create standards for electronic health information transactions" and "create privacy standards for health information" (Green & Rowell, 2013, Chapter 5)
Moreover, organizations should implement the vulnerability assessment, monitoring, vulnerability management, and enhance asset protection policy to enhance data integrity. ANSI / FERPA "The American National Standards Institute (ANSI
Despite the benefits associated with the application of the W3C, the rise of electronic commerce, mobile devices such as personal computers, tablet, wireless network and wireless medical devices have raised a new concern for data integrity and security. (Luxton, Kayl, & Mishkind, 2012)
Thus, W3C is synonymous to Web interoperability and seeks to avoid Web fragmentation and market fragmentation by publishing Web protocols and languages. (Reay, Dick, & Miller 2012)
