Computer is now password protected...sm

Thanks for the advice!  I wish I could get a little better control of him - I have also told him computer = $$$.  He just feels he has to fix everything for some reason - ARGH!!!!!!  Oh well, the password should keep him off of my stuff - I wish it would be that easy for other things around the house!


Password-protected FTP sites are . . .
HIPAA compliant.  Are there any that do not require a password?  I have never encountered one.
Files are emailed with password protected zip file attachments done in Word...(sm)
So I could use OE and send this way and ask for a reciept. I love that idea....
Your name is not protected information
At the hospital I work in we were told your address and name are not considered protected information. However your symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are. I am not so sure I agree with this but apparently the hospital here doesn't think this is a problem.

A few months ago I took my father to a larger hospital near us to have surgery. After waiting in the waiting room for 6 hours the nurses told us the surgery was over the the doctor would be out to see us soon. Assuming since there were several smaller rooms that we would be taken into one of those for the update, NOPE. Right in front of every patient and family members right in the middle of the waiting room. Thank god my dad didn't have a circumcision or something embarrassing. I found that quite strange coming from one of the best hospitals in the whole state of Missouri.
How do you get a password?
Thanks for the ideas.  How do you go about getting a password in order to send the files via email?  I also downloaded the Streamload that was mentioned.  Looks like it is very easy to use.  Thank you all again. 
Unions protected workers from exploitation
It seems me that had the unions had a watch dog group, abuse of that system would not have occurred. And there was abuse. A small percentage of people always seem to look for loop holes and then milk something good as long as they can until they ruin it for everybody.

But please, unions are good. If there were unions in Calif for the field workers, conditions would be improved and these unemployed workers across America who have lost their jobs to outsourcing could actually make a decent living at them without work that puts you into a chiropractors' office in ten years.

Of course, the price of food would have to go up or perhaps all of those filthy rich ranch owners would, instead, have to take a cut in income (now there is a possible answer).
demographics are not the only info that is HIPAA protected
Any info that could compromise a patient's privacy is protected. that includes any diagnostic information, tests, diagnoses, etc., and basically anything in that record.
Thanks..unfortunately it won't accept password :(NM
d
password protect it so that they will have to ask
If they question why you have a password, say that you had to for compliance issues, which really is what you should do anyway.  I have my computer set up so that after 20 minutes of being idle, I have to reenter my password.  They really should ask before using it.  I feel that my work computer is for my use only, so I don't feel guilty about not sharing it.
What diff does it make if it is one during the day or at night? Your computer should be protected
:+
Obviously this isnt DQS because you cant get in without a password. You must be on C phone yet. On
DQS no way to document what they are up to because you cant get into anyone elses number.
Cannot recall password for Windows :(

PC crashed so I pulled out the old PC from years ago.  But, I cannot recall my password.  Can I get around this somehow?  I am lost without my puter :(. 


Thanks!


HIPAA only addresses PHI (protected health information) would is defined as anything that SM

specifically identifies the patient, i.e. name, MRN, SSN, account numbers, etc.  As long as all identifying information is removed from a report, it poses no HIPAA violation to keep it on file.  Furthermore, as an employee of the hospital in the medical transcription department and charged with peforming QA, I have legitimate reasons to access a patient's chart.  HIPAA says so.


Go back and read your HIPAA laws again.


You need to use your password to get in there and it is an internet based website that is why you
need to get set up if you dont have a password or just go to the website and follow along.
you can get your password reset, just call them and explain what you did.
I did this and they will just reset your password and you can download it again.

Also if you have a burner, you could try burning it onto a disc.
Password protect the files in word (sm)

tools>security options or general options>password


That's what I'd suggest.
