    Cybersecurity In Your Privacy Impact Assessment

    Cybersecurity In Your Privacy Impact Assessment

    How To Include Cybersecurity In Your Privacy Impact Assessment
    Keeping information safe and secure is a challenging development for businesses of all sizes over the last few years. Remote working and using cloud hosted services forced healthcare practices to change, or at least re-examine, their cybersecurity practices and protocols.
    According to CyberEdge’s Cyberthreat Defense Report, 85% of organizations suffered from a successful cyberattack in 2021.
    A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is an important tool to help understand the risks to patient health information and your healthcare business.
    Does Your PIA Include Cybersecurity Risks and Mitigation Plan?
    You should review your PIA regularly, at least annually, and update your risk mitigation plans when there is a change in your administrative, technical, or physical practices. You also need to consider that the threat environment external to your business, like the increasing risk of cybersecurity vulnerabilities, can damage your business.
    In this Episode #107 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast, Jean L. Eaton, Practical Privacy Coach with Information Managers shows us how to include cybersecurity risks in your PIA.

    Managing Employees When They Make Mistakes - Addressing Employee Performance and Restoring the Workplace

    Managing Employees When They Make Mistakes - Addressing Employee Performance and Restoring the Workplace

    Have you ever had an employee who has made a mistake and now you’re scrambling about what to do next?
    Your business needs a set of reasonable rules and guidelines for employees to follow. This helps to create a safe and respectful workplace and protect the privacy rights of your patients and employees.
    Your healthcare practice should have a written policy and procedure to guide you in your response to a privacy and security incident.
    Sometimes, our employees have been directly involved in the incident. For example:
    Petty theft (personal gain) Snooping in patient or employee records (disregarding policies) Faxing a report to the wrong recipient (carelessness) Using patient or employee information to cause harm (malice) When employees and healthcare providers fail to meet our expectations sanctions or discipline may be appropriate.
    In this episode #105 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast, guest human resources expert Stacey Messner, Leader in HR gives practical advice to clinic managers and privacy officers to navigate difficult conversations after an employee makes a mistake, addressing employee performance improvement and workplace restoration practices.

    Build Your Authority, Appeal, and Profit as an Author

    Build Your Authority, Appeal, and Profit as an Author

    In this episode #104 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast, Lind Stirling will walk you through some of the essentials for creating a profitable book that represents you well.
    Would you like to help family members of your patients to be better prepared to support your patient after treatments? Would you like to coach your patients in between in-person visits? Do you ever feel that you could help more people avoid / prevent illness if they just did this one thing that you specialize in? Do you want your patients to be more compliant with the follow-up actions that help your patients recover faster? Would you like more referrals from other providers to your practice? You can accomplish these goals when you build your authority, appeal, and profits as an author.
    When it comes to writing a book, people are usually in one camp or another. The first camp thinks it’s easy and the second camp thinks it’s too daunting to tackle.
    The fact of the matter is that both groups need strategies and with these strategies they can be successful.
    Breaking strategies down into manageable nuggets is where authors find success. 
    Before you even consider strategies, however, you need to think about your why. That’s where the power of success lies. Once you are clear about your why, that gives you the mental energy to complete your book.
    Linda will walk you through some of the essentials for creating a profitable book that represents you well.
    If you have thought about becoming an authorpreneur, self-publishing, or want to publish in a traditional format, Linda Stirling can help you with that!
