Some days life would be easier if the Internet had
never been invented! But criminal justice experts
say cyber crime is growing faster than conventional
crime, so we all are more concerned with security
than ever.
Are you ready for HIPAA Security? The Winter 2005 US
Healthcare Industry HIPAA Survey* results show only
18% of providers are in compliance with HIPAA
Security regulations. If you're in the other 82%,
we've provided some resources to assist you in the
article to the right.
| POC Becomes PDA |
|
Beta-testing of CHAMP's newest product,
TouchPoint PDA, will be underway by early
April. Running on a 6oz Pocket PC, TouchPoint
simplifies charting with flowsheet-like screens.
Pathways generate interventions that nurses mark as
complete with one click.
We're including over 50 pathways (reviewed by
several of our users) that you can customize to
match your agency's standard practices. And
underneath the simplified screens is the Omaha
System, providing outcomes measurement and
quantifiable data.
TouchPoint PDA includes basic client info,
meds, daily activity records, visits, vitals,
assessments, and interventions. It synchronizes data
with the server when in the office.
For more info, please email us
or browse our TouchPoint
PDA info.

| Timely Import from Lewis Prompt |
|
CHAMP can now import Lewis Prompt data. For Lewis
customers looking for an alternative to Patron, this
may remove the last hurdle for you to upgrade to
CHAMP instead. Import Physician and Patient files
and resume business activities with little re-keying
of data. Contact us
for more info.

| HIPAA Security Starts in April |
|
Help ready your agency with some of these resources:
HCAR
Security Bulletin
A weekly summary of
security events is published free by Stony Hill
Management. This company also produces GetHIP
- Security, a home care HIPAA compliance tool.
Staff Training HIPAA Tip From HCAR Security
Bulletin
The Security Rule identifies three
areas where staff training and education may be
needed: protection from malicious software, password
management, and log-in monitoring. For a curriculum
outline based on materials included in
GetHIP-Security, please email info@hipaahomecare.com
with "training outline" in the subject.
Wireless Security
Several customers use
wireless networks, which can be handy. Unfortunately
they're more difficult to secure. CHAMP does not
support wireless network setup and/or security. You
assume full responsibility for CHAMP data
transmitted via the wireless network. See this
article as an aid to assist in your security
efforts.
Passwords in CHAMP
We are working on enhancing password functionality
for our next update, Release Q. Each user will be
able to change his/her own password, and we'll
provide instructions on how to setup Form Privileges
for this.
