Email and HIPAA
For those looking into email issues specifically, please see HealthyEmail, www.healthyemail.org . It's a nonprofit, I'm on the board, and the point of the exercise is to get policy and procedural tools out to support the clinical (principally physician practice) use of email. The other advisors are heavy hitters in this area (Bill Braithwaite, Danny Sands who was principal author of the AMIA email guidelines, Paul Tang, etc.), and we have posted a non-proprietary primer addressing HIPAA and other risks (I am generally more concerned about those other risks, by the way), patient communications documents, etc. Disclosure: It's a nonprofit principally supported by a secure messaging vendor which is a client of mine. Well, does anybody know of a health system, governmental agency or academic body who's going to pay for any major new initiative these days? And this way I know who they're listening to for advice. You can judge the merits of their solution for yourself, if you like, or ping me off list for info. The HealthyEmail documentation itself is not tied to the vendor, and is designed to support any clinical use of email. Interested party or not, my take is that if there is reasonably affordable/reasonably easy to use encryption available, the addressable specification security rule analysis indicates it should be used if you send ePHI over the Internet with any frequency.

We have been wrestling with this question of e-mail security here too. I am with a large integrated delivery system in New Mexico. Our position, however, is that we will not stop the e-mail until we can agree on a workable technical security approach. We will continue as we have been, while we simultaneously working on a technical security approach (I won't say solution, because there does not appear to be a great solution at this time.) We believe it is too risky from a patient care standpoint to completely stop all e-mail, for a couple of reasons: 1) Most of our clinical units use e-mail to communicate with other providers and with patients themselves regarding treatment and care management 2) There have not been any reported problems with security related to this so far (I understand that this doesn't mean there is no risk). Therefore in comparing the benefits and risks to the patient, we felt it was better to continue using e-mail for now. 3) We feel that the advantages of e-mail outweigh the security risks; specifically we see those advantages as: * speed, * written documentation of the communication, and * the fact that both parties don't have to be in communication at the same time (like the phone would require) 4) The best alternative to e-mail would be fax - but that really is not much safer than e-mail from a technical standpoint, and in many cases travels over the same lines. We don't feel like we are buying much in terms of additional security by forcing everyone to use fax. Also, many patients do not have home fax machines. We are currently working on developing a secure server approach. We feel that encryption is not realistic since the technology is not standard enough, nor easily usable by clinicians or patients. We see our biggest challenge with any technical approach, is not the technology, but getting our clinicians and administrative staff to adopt it. Most of our planning will be focused on piloting and adoption strategies for this type of technology, from a very practical standpoint. Is any body else seeing the adoption challenges of e-mail security technology?

RE: NPP in Other Languages
Folks - The plain language requirement for the NPP incorporates regulatory requirements that include translation into other languages if they are a material element of the population you serve. I did the research well over a year ago so don't recall the citations, and don't have time to dig it up just now, but I believe it was available via an OCR webpage. There are criteria for determining what languages you need to include, and this would apply to any CE, not just an employer plan. John R.

DOL, in contrast to HHS, has very specific rules on distributing a summary plan description or a summary of material modifications to a plan participant, i.e., hand delivery, first class mail (second or third class only if return and forwarding postage is guaranteed and address correction is requested), or electronic delivery under certain circumstances and on when you need to translate such plan documents into another language. If your covered entity is governed by ERISA, I suggest that you apply these rules. If you covered entity is not governed by ERISA, you still may find the guidance helpful. I have quoted the foreign language and mailing guidance below. Best regards, Dave Ermer 29 C.F.R. §2520.102-2 Style and Format of SPD: (c) Foreign languages. In the case of either-- (1) A plan that covers fewer than 100 participants at the beginning of a plan year, and in which 25 percent or more of all plan participants are literate only in the same non-English language, or (2) A plan which covers 100 or more participants at the beginning of the plan year, and in which the lesser of (i) 500 or more participants, or (ii) 10% or more of all plan participants are literate only in the same non-English language, so that a summary plan description in English would fail to inform these participants adequately of their rights and obligations under the plan, the plan administrator for such plan shall provide these participants with an English-language summary plan description which prominently displays a notice, in the non-English language common to these participants, offering them assistance. The assistance provided need not involve written materials, but shall be given in the non-English language common to these participants and shall be calculated to provide them with a reasonable opportunity to become informed as to their rights and obligations under the plan. The notice offering assistance contained in the summary plan description shall clearly set forth in the non-English language common to such participants offering them assistance. The assistance provided need not involve written materials, but shall be given in the non-English language common to these participants and shall be calculated to provide them with a reasonable opportunity to become informed as to their rights and obligations under the plan. The notice offering assistance contained in the summary plan description shall clearly set forth in the non- English language common to such participants the procedures they must follow in order to obtain such assistance. Example. Employer A maintains a pension plan which covers 1000 participants. At the beginning of a plan year five hundred of Employer A's covered employees are literate only in Spanish, 101 are literate only in Vietnamese, and the remaining 399 are literate in English. Each of the 1000 employees receives a summary plan description in English, containing an assistance notice in both Spanish and Vietnamese stating the following: ``This booklet contains a summary in English of your plan rights and benefits under Employer A Pension Plan. If you have difficulty understanding any part of this booklet, contact Mr. John Doe, the plan administrator, at his office in Room 123, 456 Main St., Anywhere City, State 20001. Office hours are from 8:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. You may also call the plan administrator's office at (202) 555- 2345 for assistance.'' 29 C.F.R

RE: Any HIPAA Humor tools out there?
Who's doing this? Can you guess what law schools are promoting coursesin successful litigation under HIPAA regulations? Wehave at least one here in Florida I am aware of. Please let me know, I'd love to see the curriculum andfigure out the holes in it, perhaps work up articles to help judges reject HIPAA claims. Something like this would becounter-productive andwould require creative lawyering to develop strong private claims (or is the training is for prosecutors or OCR investigators?) By the way,this is one attorney who co-presented abouttwo dozen half-day statemedical association sponsored trainings for docs, including a thick compliance manual, for compensation that basically covered expenses, i.e.pro bono. And no, I don't get a lot of work from docs - a little from time to time, not much, doctors don't trust lawyers and don't want to spend money on them (and get mad at us when they messup legal matters trying to do it themselves and it costs them more to fix the problems they caused!) - not my client base, but a profession I respect and felt needed the help since nobody else was stepping up to the plate.
