We'll also explore communication methods to handle downtime efficiently, discuss procedures for various types of downtime, learn about special considerations, and identify special projects to handle on a case-by-case basis. Upon completion of this seminar, you will understand how to eliminate disastrous consequences associated with downtime and encourage your department's success.

Exam Prep Course: CHPS Domains 1 and 4—Ethics, Regulation, Investigation, and Compliance

AHIMA has just launched a new online course, part of a series of web-based refresher courses designed for those who are preparing to take the CHPS certification examination. It focuses on CHPS domains 1 and 4, reviewing the competencies of ethical, legal and regulatory issues/external environment including investigation, compliance, and enforcement principles and strategies (as covered in the CHPS certification examination). It will reawaken your knowledge with an expert overview of incidence response planning that includes areas such as: which members to include on response teams, how to respond to incidents, and how to keep consistency throughout the plan. Refresh your understanding of how to coordinate state and federal laws and regulations with your compliance plans and how to follow best practices for implementation and maintenance of documentation, inquiries, and responses to privacy and security practices. You will be reminded of optimal monitoring practices for access to PHI and be ready to describe how to develop and implement a system that evaluates risk to ensure follow-through.
