With the COVID-19 pandemic demands for Personal Health Information (PHI) from law enforcement, the press, politicians and the public are increasing. While there may be good reasons behind many of these demands, healthcare providers must be mindful of the requirements of HIPAA.
As Catie Heindel of Strategic Management and Ashley Huntington of Cook County Health explain in this podcast, it is permissible under HIPAA to make a disclosure for the purposes of preventing or lessening serious or imminent threats to health and safety.
However, it can be a complex issue, and it’s important to check for the latest bulletins from the HHS Office of Civil Rights. In addition, it’s important to remember that HIPAA provides a floor. There are various state privacy requirements that must be heeded, as well.
But just having that expertise in the compliance department is not enough. Front line personnel need to have the expertise either to make decisions or know whom to turn to when facing an information request. That’s why they recommend a multi-disciplinary approach to developing privacy policies, tools such as a quick guide, and a plan for who decides what information is and isn’t disclosed.
Listen in to learn more about how to handle requests for patient information in the time of pandemic.
Neurology the study of the structure and functions of the tubular ducts that transmits impulses from effector muscles and tissues to the brain for processing and the corresponding stimuli response back to the tissues and effector muscles has become more urgent and important now than ever before and needs more attention and investments., this is due to the very important and enormous role the brain and the nervous system as a whole plays in the increasingly complex , sophisticated and modernized human society. As a result the brain and the nervous system of humans must be medically enhanced and boosted to be able to cope, adapt and contribute significantly to the society through inventions, innovations etc. A way to do this is by popularization of NEUROSTIMULATION : a technique or method by which the neurons ( sensory, intermediary, and the motor neurons ) are induced to carry more charges thus increasing their voltage capacity.. One safe and simple way to do this is by manufacturing very soluble but highly concentrated ions of substances like SODIUM, POTASSIUM AND IODINE mainly in form of drugs and food supplements specifically targeted at the brain and the nervous system that could be taken into the body occasionally by injection or orally. in order to increase the ionic concentration or ionic potential and conductivity of the neurons. Another method is to directly introduce controlled amounts of electrical impulse or electromagnetic radiations into the brain via wearable devices such as eye glasses or head gears occasionally to increase the voltage capacity of the brain.. These will help improve the overall performance of the brain and the nervous system as a whole by increasing it’s PROCESSING CAPACITY, SHARPNESS OR ALERTNESS and the SPEED OF RATE OF TRANSMISSION OF IMPULSE which underlies optimum central nervous system performance. . These NEUROSTIMULATION methods could be very useful to the younger generation and students by improving their learning capabilities and increase their level of understanding and comprehension as well as highly skilled workers to enhance their performance, productivity and innovative abilities.
