The Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act rules are more stringent than ever before. Every person who works with patients or comes in contact with a patient's protected health information - whether direct caregivers, billing clerks, office staff, or CEO - will be held to a higher standard of accountability for keeping confidential information private. It is critical for all health care workers to receive information to reduce the risk and vulnerabilities associated with patient data privacy and security.
With advances in medical record documentation and storage, ensuring privacy and security of individual's health information is even more critical and challenging. The stakes are high as criminal and civil penalties for improper use or disclosure of medical information are increasing as well. It is critical that every employee, even those with limited access to patient information, become familiar with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule requirements. (Show Less)

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are activities that adults do every day to carry out their lives. These include bathing, dressing, grooming, going to the bathroom, walking, eating and other basic activities. The vast majority of ADLs are provided by the paraprofessional in most health care settings. Because of this responsibility, it is important as caregivers to have a solid understanding of the appropriate techniques in providing personal care. The paraprofessional also needs to be able to correctly demonstrate the proper skills necessary to provide personal care. In addition to ADLs, it is important that the caregiver understand and practice the goals of proper skin care and the preventive measures necessary to avoid pressure ulcers.
