As technology continues to advance, long term care providers, have become increasingly driven by digital data. Electronic storage of residents’ medical records and the virtual delivery of care have made it imperative for management to protect sensitive data. The challenge is that many nursing homes and other senior or assisted living facilities may not have a response plan in place to shield themselves and their residents in the event of a cyber attack. navitend specializes in Information Security & Technology for Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Facilities.

We've got a summer cooler to give away at booth 161. Be sure to Stop by and say "HI" to Patrice and Paula

What
Senior citizens are embracing the digital age in greater numbers every year. Fifty-three percent of adults ages 65 and older now use the Internet and online tools such as email and social media. The internet helps senior citizens connect with society, bringing vital information and resources to them.
There are risks associated with being online, and, sadly, many scammers target senior citizens.
Come learn what to do: STOP. THINK. CONNECT.
There will also be an At-Home Technology Support Company in attendance.
Why
Seniors today are faced with a dilemma. They did not grow up during the era of computers and the internet, yet this age group now depends on this technology. As a result, seniors are learning more and using technologies for the first time. In general, technology is helping to give senior citizens an improved quality of life through increased connectivity and a sense of community.

What
Healthcare data security remains one of the top concerns for the vast majority of healthcare organizations housing sensitive data. We’ve seen an increase in breaches, attacks, and ransomware instances. And the attackers are getting bolder.
Learn the key elements of the "HIPAA Security Rule" including who is covered, what information is protected, and what safeguards must be in place to ensure appropriate protection of electronic protected health information (EPHI).
navitend, HIPAA Secure Now! and CareOne at Teaneck team up together at this Educational Panel Discussion called "Get Your Arms Around HIPAA and HITECH" - CEU's provided for LNHA and CALA (Licensed Nursing Home Administrators and Certified Assisted Living Administrators).
Why
Today the digital healthcare framework has become a part of our everyday lives. More heathcare providers are using clinical applications to access electronic health records (EHR), radiology, pharmacy, and laboratory systems. Health plans are providing access to claims and care management, as well as member self-service applications. While this means that the medical workforce can be more mobile and efficient (i.e., healthcare professionals can check patient records and test results from wherever they are), the rise in the usage of these technologies increases the potential for more security risks.

What
Why
Many veterans are not prepared to leave the military and enter the civilian world and there is not enough done to give them the proper training and information regarding benefits they are eligible to receive once they separate.The problem can be exacerbated for those with little formal education or service related disabilities, post traumatic stress disorder, and other service related problems. Being homeless hurts, Operation Chillout helps! If you want to help, consider spreading the word to as many people as you can to attend our "Annual Vets Summer Fest" which 100% of the donations raised on this day will go to homeless veterans.

HIPAA Compliance and the Protection of Cyber Security
Breaches wreak havoc on healthcare organizations. One gap in your facility's infrastructure can leave private patient data wide open for those with malicious intent to take and use to their advantage. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) can be encrypted and made useless by hackers demanding a ransom and information can be sold to interested parties who can then use it for identity theft.

What
Frank Ableson, owner of navitend, a managed IT services provider will speak on HIPAA and Information Security to help you better understand how to identify and mitigate the risks your facility faces. During this interactive discussion you will learn action items for practical controls and safeguards to put into place along with effectively managing your team in the face of digital threats. The overall objective during this session is to help you improve the security posture of your organization.
Read through these common myths about risk assessments and then decide... should you attend this session?
1. The security risk analysis is optional for small providers. False. All providers who are “covered entities” under HIPAA are required to perform a risk analysis.
2. Simply installing a certified EHR fulfills the security risk analysis MU requirement. False. Even with a certified EHR, you must perform a full security risk analysis. Security requirements address all electronic protected health information you maintain, not just what is in your EHR.
3. My EHR vendor took care of everything I need to do about privacy and security. False. Your EHR vendor may be able to provide information, assistance, and training on the privacy and security aspects of the EHR product. However, EHR vendors are not responsible for making their products compliant with HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules. It is solely your responsibility to have a complete risk analysis conducted.
4. A checklist will suffice for the risk analysis requirement. False. Checklists can be useful tools, especially when starting a risk analysis, but they fall short of performing a systematic security risk analysis or documenting that one has been performed.
5. My security risk analysis only needs to look at my EHR. False. Review all electronic devices that store, capture, or modify electronic protected health information. Include your EHR hardware and software and devices that can access your EHR data (e.g., your tablet computer, your practice manager’s mobile phone). Remember that copiers also store data.
6. I only need to do a risk analysis once. False. To comply with HIPAA, you must continue to review, correct or modify, and update security protections.
Why
A healthcare facility's leadership must understand and treat cyber security as a high priority, taking an active role in its oversight and development. As your organization increasingly relies on sensitive data stored on corporate networks, cyber security and risk management become more intertwined.

Why
Did you know that the data you use to keep your business running smoothly could put you at risk for a ransomware attack? As technology evolves, businesses of all sizes have access to better tools to create and collect data, most of which is saved locally on computers and servers. This data, such as customer profiles, software, account numbers or sales records, is often crucial to business functions and can improve your competitive edge. But this data can be a risk in the case of a ransomware attack. Business owners and managers who are responsible for the flow of information in their organization should plan on attending this lunch and learn.

Why
Nonprofits collect sensitive data, which can include donor information, health information, Social Security numbers, confidential emails, employee and volunteer records, and billing information. But, very few organizations can be confident that they do not store any of this information, so it needs to be protected.
