Data Breaches: What Every Coder Needs to Know

Talk Ten Tuesdays

The continued onslaught of cybersecurity attacks is only getting worse.
These attacks have impacted the healthcare system in dramatic fashion, starting with the Change Healthcare payment network being brought down.
Hopefully, everyone – including coders – will be more vigilant and wary of potential attacks and attempts to breach security. The constant development of new approaches and innovative tools means that if you or your facility have not yet been subject to an attack, it is likely only a matter of time before this comes knocking on your door.
In helping providers get prepared, ICD10monitor and Talk Ten Tuesdays (TTT) have invited Nick van Terheyden (aka Dr. Nick), the clinical specialist at Iodine Software, to share his recent experiences and insights – and to offer some suggestions on how you might be fooled and what you can do to protect yourself, your business, and your family.
The live broadcast will also feature these other recognizable segments:
•RegWatch: Former Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) career professional Stanley Nachimson will report on the latest regulatory news coming out of Washington, D.C.
•Coding Report: Laurie Johnson, senior healthcare consultant with Revenue Cycle Solutions, LLC, will report on the latest coding news.
•Social Determinants of Health: Tiffany Ferguson, CEO for Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will report on the news happening at the intersection of medical record auditing and the social determinants of health (SDoH).
