$400,000 Penalty in HIPAA Case

Healthcare Info Security May,22,2013 Howard Anderson Federal regulators have demonstrated yet again that an investigation of a relatively small breach incident can result in a substantial penalty for HIPAA non-compliance. Idaho State University has agreed to pay $400,000 as part of a resolution agreement stemming from an incident it reported in August 2011 that potentially could have exposed information on 17,500 patients at the university's Pocatello Family Medicine Clinic. Patient information was vulnerable for at least 10 months because a firewall protecting a server was disabled, according to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights.

EHR Incentive Program Healthcare Professionals Did You Know? Non-hospital-based physicians and other eligible professionals can obtain incentive payments of as much as $44,000 under Medicare or $63,750 under Medicaid. Under both Medicare and Medicaid, eligible hospitals may receive millions of dollars for implementing and meaningfully using certified EHR technology. About two-thirds (65 percent) of hospitals and 32 percent of office-based physicians plan to enroll in meaningful use programs by the end of 2012 in order to receive the maximum incentives, according to survey results announced Thursday morning. Fewer federal dollars will be available to hospitals and doctors that wait to adopt EHR technology, and failure to meaningfully use EHRs starting in 2015 will result in Medicare penalties.

This Week's Wireless News

Reality Check: The future of telecom revenue - SMBs and the cloud   RCR Wireless U.S. May,21, 2013 by:Daniel Saks About one billion people are employed by small- and medium-sized businesses around the world. At first glance, it seems unlikely these SMBs would have much in common; they cover all sorts of industries and face a range of different challenges. But, they do share one key trait: They are all very, very busy. Read Report

ATT leads the (still small) cellular tablet market with 49% share Fierce Wireless May,21 2013 by:Mike Dano According to new data from research firm NPD Group, AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T) serviced almost half of all the tablets in the nation that connected to cellular networks in the first quarter. However, the percentage of tablets that actually do connect to 3G or 4G networks is relatively small--NPD found that only 12 percent of all tablets in the United States connect to cellular networks. "Most consumers haven't found that key application convincing them to add a cellular connection," said Eddie Hold, vice president of NPD's Connected Intelligence division, which released the new research. "Another set-back is that many tablets purchased today do not include a cellular modem, which further limits the directly-addressable market for mobile operators. Instead, these operators need to focus on tethering and mobile hotspot solutions in order to grow the market more rapidly." Read More

99-Cent Smartphones: Hot or Not? Pocket Now May,13,2013 By:Michael Fisher It’s that time of year again: the New Radicals have arrived, and the New Kids on the Block are here to boot your parents’ favorite band off the Billboard Top Charts. Actually, come to think of it, the New Radicals are a decade past popularity at this point, and the New Kids are old enough to be your parents’ favorite band, so ... maybe forget the flawed analogy. The point is this: the hot new Android devices of 2013 have arrived, in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 and HTC One, and their predecessors are getting the deep-discount treatment as a result. Last year’s hot flagships are this year’s cheap mid-rangers. That’s nothing new, really, but it poses some questions for buyers and sellers of these gadgets, these puzzling devices that Newt Gingrich might call “pocket computers.” Read More
