DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the realm of health care, privacy protections are needed to preserve patients' dignity and prevent possible harms. Ten years ago, to address these concerns as well as set guidelines for ethical health research, Congress called for a set of federal standards now known as the HIPAA Privacy Rule. In its 2009 report, Beyond the HIPAA Privacy Rule: Enhancing Privacy, Improving Health Through Research, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Health Research and the Privacy of Health Information concludes that the HIPAA Privacy Rule does not protect privacy as well as it should, and that it impedes important health research.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHospitals have experienced an increase in the number of patients utilizing the emergency departments (ED) for treatment of non-emergency conditions and primary care services. As a result of this increase, rural hospitals have implemented services such as rural health clinics which require that a mid-level practitioner be present at least 50% of the time as the primary care provider. It is the purpose of this project to design a proposal and business plan for the implementation of a rural health clinic as means of increasing access to primary care services for patients who may utilize the ED for primary care on non-emergent conditions. A literature review was performed for the areas of patient satisfaction, ED utilization and patient flow, and nurse practitioners as primary care providers. The identified research supported the utilization and patient flow, and nurse practitioners as primary care providers. The identified research supported the utilization of nurse practitioners as primary care providers in a rural health clinic as an alternative to using the ED for non-emergency conditions and primary care services. This project included an educational presentation to the ED nursing staff of the proposed rural hospital located near the proposed rural health clinic in regard to patient triage and identification of patients appropriate for referral to a rural health clinic. A business plan was developed to evaluate th financial feasibility of the implementation of a rural health clinic staffed by nurse practitioners. Based on the results of the literature review an business plan, a recommendation to proceed with the implementation of a rural health clinic was made to the chief executive officer (CEO) of the proposed hospital. The CEO indicated that this recommendation would be presented to the hospital's board of directors.
