I am under the understanding that HIPPA is requiring that we keep track of transactions by users in order to log which users have viewed data on a patient. Our current software keeps logs of users printing reports and information they have viewed on the screen, but I know of no way to track the queries. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Or do you know of any in the planning stage which will be available when the final regulations are published? Thank you, Lisa R.

HIPAA Final rules aren't out yet, so the JCAHO regs will only be leading us toward the final rules, not address them. Next year or the year after I would think someone will put out some walkover/crossreference manual. If you find one before them, be careful using it. Errick Woosley 3X Corp.

This tool, comprised of over 500 questions, has its roots in the proposed= HIPAA Security Regulation. Within the tool, all questions are referenc= ed back to the Table, Requirement, and Implementation in the Regulation. This tool = was developed by the "North Carolina Healthcare Information and Communica= tions Alliance, Inc. (NCHICA), a privately funded, nonprofit organization that = actively promotes the advancement and integration of information technolo= gy into the healthcare industry." "HIPAA EarlyView=99 Version 1.0 is a self-assessment tool used to get a f= irst glance at an organization=92s readiness to comply with the proposed = HIPAA Security Regulations contained in the administrative Simplification provisions of = the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) [P.L. 104= -191]."

I have heard both yeah's and nay's. I have also read some of the proposed regs and found nothing that seemed to explicitly exclude military hospitals. Thanks for your help with this!
