Password-protected FTP sites are . . .

In Reply to: HIPPA FTP - Cathy

HIPAA compliant.  Are there any that do not require a password?  I have never encountered one.

how do get rid of password protected -sm
computer.  I had it so a password needed to be entered on my PC but would like to change that now.  How do I do that? Thanks.
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!


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....

Good luck


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. 


It has nothing to do with sites..
Check with your ISP, modem or phone line.

FTP sites...
Does anyone know of any FTP sites that do not have a user fee? I am currently using a software that charges me 0.025 cpl and I find it's a ripoff. I really don't make any money off this software, AND I paid an arm and a leg for this software. Can anyone tell me where I can find an FTP site that does not charge a user fee? TIA.
OB/GYN sites

Can someone tell me of some good OB/GYN sites out there?  For that matter, any good specialty sites.  I'm fairly new to transcription and still gathering good reference sites.


Thanks in advance!


MTOhio


sites
There is chemocare.com and cancer-info.com.
OB/GYN web sites
Does anybody have any good web sites for OB/GYN and peds?  I haven't done all that much of either one and I'm having a slow go with the acronyms.  Any help would really be appreciated!
FTP sites
Can anyone recommend a good FTP site that would be used on my own computer on the desktop.  Thank you.
what other sites do you use?
TIA
Many thanks 2 U both 4 the 3 gr8 sites (sm)

I'm good to go!!



 


It's right on their Web sites...

Visit this site, read paragraph 2 and notice the word global.  It doesn't appear they are trying to hide anything.

Some different sites here too . .

These help me:


For City/States/Counties:  *HomeTownLocator* --  http://www.hometownlocator.com/


For Orthopedics:  Really great site.  Can use search box or click on any part of the skeleton.  *Wheeless On Line* --  http://www.wheelessonline.com/


For Medical Abbreviations:  Also has a medical dictionary, drug search and medical instrument search, but I just use it for the Abbreviations.  *MediLexicon*   http://www.medilexicon.com/


For Chemotherapy Drugs - *ChemoCare*  http://www.chemocare.com/bio/


For Medical Dictionary - *Dorlands Medical Dictionary* - http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands_split.jsp?pg=/ppdocs/us/common/dorlands/dorland/misc/A_TOC.htm


For Clinical Trials - http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/


Those are some of what I use all the time. 


 


thanks a lot for these sites
I appreciate you taking the time to give them to me!
But, I can access all other web sites
So, would it really be my Internet Explorer causing the problem???

I use to go to this one web site where I could always log on even during them updating the site but many others could not - some could, some could not. I just have a feeling this may be the same type of thing - something with the website itself or else I would have problems with other websites, wouldn't I? I can access any other website I want but this particular one - wwww.weightwatchers.com

I thought maybe I needed to clean out my cache or whatever as they may have changed something where it keeps using something on my computer that is old/no longer valid in order to access the site but wouldn't everything I have done so far have eliminated a possible problem such as that??? I did not actually go in and delete anything in any cache so I don't know if that may need to be done yet and, if so, I have no idea where to go and/or which one(s) I need to do that with.

Thanks so much for trying to help. I sincerely appreciate it.
Any of you pet lovers seen these sites?

So cute, and so addicting!


Thanks for the sites. I have a question...
I have avoided calling Dell to ask for help with certain issues because I cannot understand them. If I ask them to transfer me to a US office, will they?
cancer sites
I usually use the NIH-National Cancer Institute site. It has listing of clinical trials, types of drugs, different types of cancer treatments. I also depend heavily on the Oncology Word Book by Stedman.
The other sites might as well not exist
They are so self censored that they won't give a company's name, so they might as well not exist. MTStars is the best board on the internet for FREEDOM OF INFORMATION. Posters may say that people are negative on this board, but they are honest and realistic. The other boards are so full of Pollyannas they are virtually worthless -- INCLUDING boards you have to pay by the month.


if they use the BOS on offshore sites.
If so, the AAMT must be making a killing.
I just checked out both of these sites and
there is no rsp.com and the other said the site was under construction. I have heard that VA jobs are the jobs to have, though. Good luck!!
At my clinical sites,...sm
the physicians' handwritten orders are transcribed by the unit clerk into the MAR (medication administration record), or if they are using Meditech they get transcribed into Meditech, again by the unit clerk. Nurses are very savvy on drugs and doses and are expected to question anything that is, well, questionable. A nurse is liable for administering the wrong drug even if the doc ordered it wrong. Both clinical sites I have been at so far were Magnet status - that is a hospital that has undergone extensive credentialing to show superior nursing care. Magnet hospitals have the lowest nurse:patient ratio, which has been directly linked with less deaths and better patient care... just my two cents.
Drug sites

What are some favorite drug sites?  Thanks in advance.
