The key was that I had to thoroughly go through the forms and the copy of the insurance cards to get all the information needed. Patient 1: Bella Allen Full name was not filled out on registration form. I used the name that was on the insurance card, The insurance name was incorrect on the registration form. I used the copy of the insurance card to document the correct name. The state and home phone were missing from the patient information section on the registration form.

Patient 1 had the insurance policy number incorrect. This would result in the claim being denied. Patient 2 was entered under the wrong name. This could lead to misidentification. Patient 3 had many data errors. Again, misidentification leading to wrong information and multiple records would be a result. Accuracy ensures that the patient and their records are verified, and fewer claims are denied. Unfortunately, while I was absent, patient information was not protected like it should have been. Violations included: « Failed to log off EHR system at end of the day. o Recommendation: Auto log off timer — System automatically logs off user after a designated time of inactivity. Patient’s registration forms left face up. o R dation: Digital copi of registration forms — Once a registration form is received, it should be digitized then files so non-authorized viewing chance is lowered. Any patient information associated within acquiring, retaining, and distributing illegally constitutes a breach. This calls for legal action to be placed against those who had any part in the breach. The violators could face costly consequences. Penalties may include civil and criminal cases. The government can resolve a lawsuit and lower the civil penalty amount if payment would not be proper due to the nature of the violation.

This is why itis always important to collect things like ID and insurance cards to help us verify key pieces of information. The greater the number of the 18 patient identifiers we have, the more likely we are to ensure we correctly ID the patient which allows us to protect their information and ensure they receive correct care properly. 9:25PM Wl e ATTEMPT 6/1/23 749 PM B 100.00% SafeAssign v 0% overall match SUBMISSION [ Adkins, Kylene HCAS 120 Week § Portfolio Project - Reflection.docx = CCOMMENTS Feedback to Learner 6/2/23 8:57 AM Good work - each prompt is answered fully. While not wrong to discuss the criminal punishments of HIPAA, It is important to remember that criminal punishments are only used when someone violates HIPAA as part of another crime. That is not what occurred in this situation. This situation is clear organizational failure to properly train a staff member and implement proper policies. The fact that the EHR did not have an automatic log-offis also a major issue. | could easily see this being a tier 3 or 4 fine against the organization 927 PM Wl e
