Oxford, PA – April 21, 2015 — New Age Management Services announces its increased focus on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the federal law that protects patient health information.
By providing in-depth HIPAA training and subsequent certification to employees who play a key role in HIPAA compliance, New Age is well-equipped to address the intricacies and ever-changing requirements of HIPAA.
In particular, Gina Espenschied, RN, BSN, MBA underwent and successfully completed an intensive 22-hour HIPAA training course through http://www.hipaatraining.net, a leading provider of HIPAA compliance solutions. After course completion, Ms. Espenschied successfully passed a two-hour timed exam to validate her knowledge and become a Certified HIPAA Privacy Security Expert (CHPSE).
As a CHPSE, Ms. Espenschied fully understands the HIPAA privacy and security rules as well as new changes to the regulation in light of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. HITECH mandated new requirements for sharing protected health information with business associates, for ensuring identity theft protection, for using and disclosing protected health information for marketing purposes, and for reporting breaches of protected health information.
The CHPSE credential denotes that Ms. Espenschied has an in-depth knowledge of the application of the HIPAA privacy rule as it relates to the uses and disclosures of protected health information (PHI). This includes using and disclosing PHI for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations as well as disclosure for public purposes. As a CHPSE, Ms. Espenschied also has an in-depth knowledge of the application of the HIPAA security rule as it relates to the security of PHI. Ms. Espenschied can identify technical or electronic threats to the healthcare enterprise and explain the technology available to reduce or prevent those threats. She has received advanced training in the topics of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards and is able to develop policies and procedures to describe those safeguards and address larger risk management strategies.
The CHPSE credential signifies that Ms. Espenschied is an expert in overall HIPAA compliance. She is able to evaluate whether policies and procedures are HIPAA-compliant and ensure that New Age Management Services is taking every possible step to protect the privacy and security of protected health information.
“Our company now has the credentials necessary to speak from a point of experience on all matters related to HIPAA. We have brought our knowledge to companies for years on this topic and, with this certification, it shows we are dedicated to educating our staff to ensure top-notch information and compliance to the companies who contract with us.”
