Reston, Virginia — November 10, 2011

BEI is offering a new service to assist healthcare practices to achieve Meaningful Use. Many practices are in the process of becoming ?Meaningful Users? of their electronic health record (EHR) systems. Most of the initial measures involved with Meaningful Use involve some type of provider behavior (e.g. eprescribing 40% of the time) or turning on and using some aspect of the EHR (e.g. generate a list of patients by specific condition).

Core Set Measure 15 is different. Measure 15 asks the provider to ?Conduct or review a security risk analysis, implement security updates as necessary and correct identified security deficiencies as part of its risk management process.? The objective here is to be able to prove the provider is protecting electronic health information created or maintained by their EHR. The good news is that this is something that every business, especially businesses who store confidential patient (or client) information should be doing anyway. Any changes that result from the Measure 15 Risk Analysis are just good business practices and will help keep the practice and their patients? Protected Health Information (PHI) safe from any ?bad guys? that are out there.

Mike Jennings, President of BEI commented, ?Risk analysis is not new ? it has been part of the HIPAA Security Rule since 2003 and is something that practices should have been doing all along. One of the most difficult issues for practices is that there is not a lot of guidance to go by to know what the federal government is looking for here regarding this particular risk analysis. One of the benefits we bring is that we?ve researched the requirements, know the process and can conduct an efficient and effective audit.?

Most companies rely heavily on their internal computer networks to conduct their day-to-day business. Today?s networks usually consist of fairly standard hardware including PCs, laptops, servers, wireless networking, routers, switches, firewalls, etc. Virtually all of these networks are connected to the Internet. For the most part, a connection to the Internet is a tremendous asset: employees can send and receive email, search for information, give web demonstrations and perform a myriad of other functions. However, an increasingly big issue is that of security. Just about every day there is an article in the newspaper about a major security breach of one type or another. Most companies take computer security very seriously, as it is not to their advantage to have their servers hacked or their email compromised. Despite all their efforts, however, corporate IT security remains an issue that companies must focus on every day. Although adding security to a network is an extra cost (both in the cost of the measures themselves and extra time it may take an employee to perform a certain task), it is a necessary and unavoidable cost of doing business.

Jennings continued, ?When HHS developed the EHR Incentive Program, the need to insure that ePHI (electronic Protected Health Information) was secure was a very high priority. Privacy is one of the core tenets of HIPAA, and is assumed by all Americans. We all expect that when we go to the doctor, our medical records will remain private and secure. BEI?s Core Set Measure 15 Risk Analysis is designed to do just that ? make sure practices take the proper steps to protect the privacy of its patients and their medical data created or maintained by the EHR system. This also protects our clients and helps ensure that they will be able to collect their EHR incentives.?

Jonathan Krasner, BEI?s Healthcare IT Consultant added, ?HIPAA Security Rule auditing, of which Core Set Measure 15 Risk Analysis is just a subset of, is already included in the service agreements we have with our healthcare clients. We review the entire HIPAA Security Rule program of our clients? annually and practices find that while the first audit may be fairly time consuming, subsequent years are typically pretty straightforward. Issues are identified in the beginning and then if the plan is followed it is just a matter of fine-tuning. HHS will be conducting random audits of providers who receive incentive money, so this measure should not be taken lightly. Documentation of the risk analysis and resulting security implementation is very important?

Practices that are interested in using BEI for their Core Set Measure 15 Risk Analysis should contact Mr. Krasner directly at 703-528-8300 x 105 or jonathan.krasner(at)beinetworks.com.

BEI is a privately owned business that has been providing IT support services to organizations of all sizes throughout the Washington DC metro area since 1987. Today BEI provides network design, installation, support, maintenance and procurement services to hundreds of clients in the region and has become the area?s premier provider of healthcare IT consulting and services. Healthcare IT is very different than the services and support that is typically provided to other businesses – people are walking around, logging on and off PCs all the time, and using all types of peripherals (scanners, cameras, medical devices) for data input. BEI is focused on thoroughly understanding and supporting these requirements.

BEI is a Microsoft Partner with Gold Competencies in Server Platform and Volume Licensing. BEI is working with the Virginia Regional Extension Center (VHIT) to provide Meaningful Use consulting to practices in Northern Virginia. BEI is affiliated with the Montgomery County Medical Society, the Arlington County Medical Society, the Northern Virginia Practice Management Association, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society and the Microsoft Health Users Group.

Houston, TX — November 08, 2011

National telemonitoring services will provide actionable pre-screened vital signs alerts to physician practices that use YDP?s Medical Home infrastructure in patient management and practice Quality Improvement.

“This technology support for chronic disease management by even small physician practices in rural areas is one way YDP brings Quality Improvement resources into daily practice to help physicians keep their chronically ill patients stable at home and out of the hospital.”

YDP CONTACT: Priscilla Goode, President, 713-981-6125, pgoode(at)yourdoctorprogram(dot)com

VRI CONTACT: Andy Schoonover, CEO, 800-860-4230, Andy(at)MonitoringCare(dot)com

Your Doctor Program, LLC, (YDP), a physician-developed practice support company that facilitates Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) physician practice transformations, announces a new partnership with Valued Relationships, Inc. (VRI), a national provider of remote patient monitoring services. VRI?s services will now be an integral part of YDP?s programs to support practices in meeting NCQA Level 1 PCMH standards and establishing accountable communications across their local medical networks.

Using proprietary Quality Management software integrated with a practice?s practice management system, YDP provides expertise and support required to transform even small, isolated rural practices into more clinically effective and cost-efficient PCMH provider organizations qualified to participate in PCMH and other Accountable Care Organization partnerships with third party health benefit payers. YDP provides its services to physician practices and also to payers desiring to rapidly and inexpensively build quality improvement and PCMH partnerships with Participating Physicians in their provider networks.

?We are very excited to partner with YDP and provide physicians with immediately addressable vital signs monitoring alerts that will enable them to identify patients who need their immediate proactive intervention,? said Andy Schoonover, CEO of VRI. ?Our goal is to connect doctors with their patients who may be experiencing health problems, and to do this early enough for them to help keep their patients out of the ER or hospital. ?We are pleased that VRI will take care of all aspects of monitoring and notification for chronic disease management as well as for hospital readmission prevention,? said Kim Dunn, MD, founder and CEO of YDP. ?Their only deliverable will be a real-time actionable alert in the hands of a physician, which is incredibly important information that an outcomes-focused practice using YDP?s services can use to provide superior care and obtain performance-based reimbursement enhancements.?

Vital signs data are already being obtained daily by VRI for patients of two YDP-supported practices in Houston and Dallas using wireless peripheral monitoring devices including glucometers, weight scales, pulse oximeters, and blood pressure cuffs. VRI provides on-site (in the patient?s home) installation and patient training to maximize patient/caregiver engagement and promote a positive long term patient experience. VRI makes outbound calls to patients to validate alerts as real and actionable in order to prevent any false alerts from bothering a physician?s practice. Answers to questions asked patients by VRI Care Center staff are documented and run through VRI?s algorithms to stratify alerts. Alerts that merit clinical intervention are immediately e-mailed or faxed to physicians as well as uploaded to a secure web based platform that VRI provides to communicate telemonitoring data and trends to authorized users. YDP uses the portal to conduct ongoing program oversight and analysis.

About YDP: The Your Doctor Program? was co-founded by Dr. Kim Dunn and Kevin Dunn in 2001. Its prototype was Dr. Dunn?s transformation of Internal Medicine Services in the Texas Prison System in the 1990s, and The Your Doctor Program? was piloted with patients starting in 2003. In 2005, a Research and Development Agreement was established with UT Health?s School of Biomedical Sciences and in 2009, the Program was awarded a National Institute of Health Challenge Grant to test the model. In 2010, pilots supported by Texas Managed Care payers were established and pay YDP for Medical Home management, Quality Management, and telemedicine. In 2010, the YDP Certification Process and Practice Based CME program were developed to support YDP?s vision to promulgate its Physician Quality Standard? infrastructure and Quality Improvement programs.

Part (12/12):www.youtube.com Last Challenge And The Best Call – a lecture by Sheikh Ahmed Deedat in Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia on July 24, 1991. Sheikh Ahmed Deedat: In 1986, the King Faisal Foundation awarded the King Faisal International Prize for SERVICE TO ISLAM, to a South African who is more or better known than many dignitaries in their own countries. This was the first time that this prestigious award has been awarded to a South African. The recipient of this award was a man totally dedicated to his faith and its propagation and who was not afraid to challenge any one to a debate to settle once and for all the matter, who has the good news right? He was none other than Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, reverently known and called UNCLE by those who hold him in high esteem and admiration. The award came after a lifetime of struggle to propagate Islam and to defend Islam against the onslaught of the missionaries. Finally, he was given recognition by the international Muslim community that he deserved and focused more sharply the attention of the Muslim world on the most important aspect of his work, the challenge to propagate Islam. This was his life long ambition to focus the Muslim world’s attention and resources on the propagation of Islam, and at last he succeeded. What a moment of jubilation, achievement and personal gratification for Sheikh Deedat the award was, a turning point in his life.

Alfred E. Sturgis was appointed Music Director of the North Carolina Master Chorale in 1993. Under his skilled artistic leadership the NC Master Chorale has made several appearances at state and regional conferences of the American Choral Director?s Association, recorded three Christmas CDs as well as a broadcast for UNC-TV and been involved in numerous successful collaborations with The Carolina Ballet and The North Carolina Symphony. In addition to his work with the Chorale, Sturgis serves as Music Director of The Carolina Ballet, Tar River Orchestra and Appalachian Institution.

The mission of the North Carolina Master Chorale is to present exceptional performances of choral music, promote the choral art and enrich the cultural lives of singers, audiences, artistic communities and the community at large.

“WCPE appreciates the opportunity to connect music lovers and performers through our partnership with the staff at Quail Ridge Books and Music and our collaborative series,” Lynn adds.
