If your staff is working remotely at your practice, here's how to stay connected with the right tools while remaining HIPAA compliant.
"HIPAA’s Security Rule provides a helpful framework for assessing and mitigating risks associated with transmitting ePHI. It does allow covered entities to communicate electronically, such as through email or instant messaging, provided they apply reasonable safeguards when doing so.
Email or instant messaging are allowed under HIPAA if access is restricted to the appropriate parties and data integrity is maintained."

One of the top challenges in 2022 is hiring and retaining staff. Here are some practical solutions to make hiring easier.
"The most obvious way to entice people to take jobs is by offering higher salaries and better benefits, but a practice can utilize extras that can raise interest in working there.

Patients are now more selective with where they seek care and have greater expectations from the providers they visit. Practices that fail to meet patients’ needs could face increased attrition in today’s competitive healthcare environment. PatientPop's 3rd annual Patient Perspective Survey found that 36% of patients left a healthcare provider in the previous two years."

By Susanne Madden
Physician profiling is used by payers to steer their members to in-network physicians who, by their measures, are the most cost-efficient and provide the highest quality of care. Wonder if you’ve made the grade? Look yourself up in a provider directory: if you see a star or two beside your name, you’ve been profiled.
