Another patient health information breach comes out of Hollywood, Florida. Memorial Healthcare System is notifying 9,500 patients that their information has been compromised. “The workers, whose employment was terminated, may have sought to process false tax returns using the information, according to a statement posted Thursday on MHS’ website (PDF). Information affected may have included names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers. No medical records were taken, according to the statement.” (ModernHealthcare.com/2012)

Inteck’s consulting services address all aspects and help ensure your IT operation provides the safeguards expected by your management. Our skilled resources help to ensure that your program manages corporate resources and employees, protects your vital data, and guarantees the continued availability of essential IT services.

An article from Healthcare IT News, “Texas need for HIT workers estimated at 10,000“* discusses the coming rise in healthcare IT jobs in Texas. A HIT employment assessment gave breath to this increase; among other reasons for the growth is the implementation of EHR (electronic health record) which will require support to implement and effectively use the systems. Whether the facilities will have the budget to increase their workforce remains to be seen. Still, this rise is great news for those of us in the healthcare IT industry.

Has your organization seen an increase the workforce? Share your story!

Being able to correctly bill and then collect monies for patient services is critical for every hospital. The Billing/Accounts Receivable (B/AR) module within the MEDITECH system provides all of the functionality a hospital needs to bill correctly and ensure they are paid in full. But, few hospitals use this module’s full capabilities. This could be due to the way it was set up or turnover in personnel and lack of comprehensive training.

Inteck provides a complete program enabling a hospital to use the full capabilities of the B/AR module especially in conjunction with a hospital’s Revenue Cycle Management Program.

A recent blog from Hospital and Health Networks by Stephen M. Stewart, “ICD-10 Will Lead to Better Patient Outcomes and Reduced Costs. Really.“* gives another perspective on the deadline tango the HHS has all in the healthcare industry dancing. Whether you are for the postponement of the deadline or against it, this piece gives another point of view worth reading. Among the other transitions we face in the healthcare industry (HIPAA 5010, Meaningful Use, etc.), ICD-10 is yet another transition that has us under pressure to meet the deadline and make the switch in order to better serve our patients and clients, which is the ultimate goal.

How has your facility prepared for ICD-10? What obstacles have you encountered and what advice would you give other facilities?
