While many entities have gone through the processes necessary for HIPAA Security Rule compliance, many are only partially in compliance and have not adopted the policies and procedures necessary for compliance. Many may be doing many of the right things for compliance, but have not documented their policies and procedures and compliance activities as required. And many may be exposing themselves to potential breaches of security because of inadequate, undocumented security practices, policies, and procedures. Now there are new, increased penalties for HIPAA violations and a new, random auditing process is being implemented so that HIPAA covered entities will be subject to reviews by the US Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights even if no one files a complaint. And with new technologies like smart phones and portable media being added to the mix, new vulnerabilities require new policies and procedures to avoid problems with audits and breaches. If you haven’t done what’s required under the HIPAA Security Rule, you could be liable for willful neglect penalties that begin at $10,000 minimum and go up from there. You need the proper protections to secure protected health information, and the necessary documented policies and procedures, as well as documentation of any actions taken pursuant to your policies and procedures. What's more, with the breach notification regulations established in 2009, the costs of not properly securing your data have increased dramatically. With the ever-increasing use of electronic records and systems, and changes in how you do business, now is the time to review and renew your information security program, make sure you have the policies you need, and avoid violations and penalties for non-compliance. Having the right policies and procedures in place can help prevent problems, and show that you've been doing your best even if a problem arises. Areas Covered in the Session: Find out what the requirements for policies and procedures are and why they're a good thing. Learn how having good policies and procedures and good documentation can make compliance easier. Learn the set of policies that need to be included in four groups of policies: Information Security Management Process, Access Controls, Data Management, and the Information System User Policy. Learn how to use your policies and procedures, and the documentation of use of your policies and procedures, to satisfy audit requirements and avoid penalties. Find out about scaling your policies to fit your organization - one size does not fit all! Find out how well-organized policies and procedures make audits easier. Learn with the significant penalties are for non-compliance with policy and procedure requirements. Find out what are the first steps to take in developing your policies and procedures for HIPAA Security compliance.

Discussion will include how social media can be instrumental in the collision of an employee’s work life and personal life. The presenter will guide you on issues to consider when creating a social media policy. Why you should attend: Social media use in the workplace has become a fact of life for employers and is here to stay. Many companies have even come to embrace social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, blogs and other web-based tools for client development, recruiting, branding and other business needs.

Why Should You Attend: Potency bioassays are a regulatory requirement for release and stability testing of all biopharmaceutical products. Guidelines have remained vague on bioassay expectations due to the large assortment of mechanisms, end points and targets required for these assays. An additional obstacle is the perceived variability of the methods resulting in unacceptable failure rates due to unreliable accuracy, precision and parallelism expectations. The draft USP Bioassay suite consists of the following new chapters: USP 1032, 1033 and 1034). These chapters will be finalized soon and are already being accepted as a coherent data-driven approach to develop, analyze and validate potency assays. This presentation provides logical advice on how to implement the parameters described in the new USP Bioassay suite to deliver compliant assays for Phase I/II, Phase III and commercial products. We will also review critical validation parameters and use case studies to highlight the benefits of using the new chapters.

This course helps mental health professionals become more adept when assessing and consulting bariatric surgery candidates. Full Description: Is my patient prepared for weight loss surgery? Bariatric surgery as a means of weight loss has become increasingly popular over the past decade, so much so that it is now deemed as a medical necessity in most cases of morbid obesity. The FDA is now making the recommendation that weight loss surgery be available to those with a lower BMI (BMI>30). With a potential growing number of these surgeries, there is a significant co-morbidity of psychological factors that need to be assessed and identified before patients can be approved for surgery. The psychological evaluation of the bariatric surgical candidate is considered to be a most critical and necessary step in the pre-surgical process. Mental health professionals are being sought with increased demand, not only in the evaluation of surgical candidates, but also to treat patients who are not yet deemed ready for surgery. This course is designed to review the process of gastric bypass procedures, and help mental health professionals at all levels become more adept in providing services of assessment and consultation.
