Federal privacy regulations
required by HIPAA
have now
been
published ....
|
WorkGroups
are a uniquely
cost-effective approach to help
healthcare providers
adapt .... |
WorkGroups
are an alternative
to
"turn-key" consultants and
mass
produced manuals .... |
|
They effect every healthcare provider and every insurer, they could cost the healthcare
industry more than Y2K to implement, and the healthcare industry faces potentially serious penalties for
failing to comply.
|
The HIPAA privacy regulations require major changes. HPM’s concept -- called "HIPAA Privacy WorkGroups"
-- is an innovative system
of coordinated instruction, assistance, and resources. Using an extensive
series of working-training sessions enhanced by a variety of resources,
WorkGroups gives its members the tools to implement these complex
regulatory changes themselves.
|
There
is almost no limit to the number of consultants who, for a small or large
fortune, will take on the total project and perform all phases for the
provider. There are also a growing number of publishers and others who will sell you a "one size fits
all" manual with no support, guidance or assistance.
WorkGroups fills the gap between the
two extremes through its structured series of training sessions and
interactive resources.
