RE: OCHA Agreement
Unless there's some new animal out there I've not yet heard of it might yield more results to request a sample OHCA agreement. Just a thought. -Original Message- From: rachelmcass [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 9:59 AM To: WEDI SNIP Privacy Workgroup List Subject:RE: OCHA Agreement I would be interested as well. -Original Message- From: Dean Cranwell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 10:36 AM To: WEDI SNIP Privacy Workgroup List Subject: OCHA Agreement Does anyone out there in List Land have an example of an OCHA agreement they would be willing to share Dean Cranwell Chief Privacy Officer American HealthCare, LLC 2965 Colonnade Drive, Suite 200 Roanoke, VA 24018-3541 Telephone (800) 868-3318 Ext. 221 Facsimile (540) 774-0831 NOTE: The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

OCHA
I want to find the easiest method (that complies with the law) for documenting an OCHA with our physicians. Does this mean I need individual written agreements between our hospital and each physician with privileges? If so, is anyone willing to share a sample, as I can't find one anywhere. Or can this be done by simply revising the Medical Staff Bylaws and including a declaration that an organized health care arrangement exists between the docs and the hospital, and that we have jointly designed a NPP? Some area hospitals are asking their docs to sign Confidentiality Statements on top of everything else. This seems too much to me. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. begin:vcard n:Jones;Nancy tel;work:Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital x-mozilla-html:FALSE org:Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital adr:;;1204 N.

Re: OCHA
We are doing an Administrative Policy that the Med Exec Committee will approve. The policy states that they agree to abide by our Joint Notice of Privacy Practices. HIPAA does NOT require you to designate yourselves as an OHCA, unlike Affiliated Entity status which does. I believe that the Privacy Reg defines a relationship that already exists and therefore you are only left with finding a method of documenting that the medical staff agree to abide by the joint notice. To try and get them all to sign an agreement sounds like a tracking nightmare to me. - Original Message - From: Nancy Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WEDI SNIP Privacy Workgroup List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 8:54 AM Subject: OCHA I want to find the easiest method (that complies with the law) for documenting an OCHA with our physicians.
