  • You must manage your social media profile even if you are not ‘doing’ social media.
  • Your patients and their families, employees and colleagues are using social media.

 

Is social media right for your healthcare practice?

You’re a busy healthcare practitioner or practice manager. You don't have the budget for a marketing team to help you. How can a small healthcare practice engage in social media?

Are Patient and Family Centred Care and Engagement Just Passing Fads? – Members Only

Posted on June 9, 2016 by Jean Eaton in PMN Replay

In this 30-minute Practice Management Nugget Webinar with Jessica Giesbrecht of HealthCareCAN/CHA Learning you will learn more about the opportunity for you to become a leader throughout and across the health system, and improve the care experience for patients and their caregivers and their loved ones.

Are Patient and Family Centred Care and Engagement Just Passing Fads?

Patient and family centred care (PFCC) refers to an approach to health care that strengthens the relationships between the patient and family and the healthcare providers. This is based on care that is compassionate, promotes dignity and respect, involves patients and families as partners in their own care.  PFCC builds collaborators in the health system, and enables information sharing. It applies to all parts of the continuum of care from primary care to acute care, community care and long term care. It also involves all members of the healthcare team – from governors and senior leads to front line clinicians and support services.

Jessica Giesbrecht is the Director, Quality, Performance & Evaluation at HealthCareCAN/CHA Learning and is excited to share with you a new opportunity for you to learn more about patient and family centred care.

If you are one of the healthcare professionals, practice managers, or healthcare team members, who wants to know how to  improve the care experience for patients and their caregivers and their loved ones then jump onboard with this amazing and insightful interview with expert Jessica Giesbrecht where we'll help you to take your patient and family centred care results to the next level.

“Patient-centred care and engagement are concepts that are on the lips of healthcare professionals and organizations across the country and internationally, but how do we get from theory to practice?”

“Expensive backend cybersecurity products are worthless when the virtual front door has a lousy lock!”

Dovell Bonnett

The management of passwords is the real security nightmare.

User authentication is the most ignored risk to enterprise cybersecurity. When end users are allowed to generate, know, remember, type and manage their own passwords, IT has inadvertently surrendered the job title Network Security Manager to employees – the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain.

Dovell Bonnett reveals the truth about the elephant in the room that no one wants to mention: Expensive backend security is worthless when the virtual front door has a lousy lock! Making Passwords Secure breaks down THE SIMPLE TRUTH about Multi-Factor Authentication (and how to make MFA fast, easy and affordable)!

Dovell proves that making passwords secure is not only possible, passwords can actually become an effective, cost efficient and user friendly feature of robust cybersecurity. After examining how encryption keys are secured, this book introduces a new strategy called Password Authentication Infrastructure (PAI) that rivals digital certificates.

Passwords are not going away.
What needs to be fixed is how passwords are managed.

 


Dovell - smallDovell Bonnett has been creating computer security solutions for over 20 years. His passionate belief that technology should work for humans, and not the other way around, has lead him to create innovative solutions that protect businesses from cyber-attacks, free individual computer users from cumbersome security policies, and put IT administrators back in control of their networks.

He has spent most of his career designing solutions to solve business security needs, incorporating multiple applications onto single credentials using both contact and contactless smartcards. The most famous example of his work is the ID badge currently used by all Microsoft employees.

Dovell has contributed to numerous papers for the Smart Card Alliance organization; magazines, including Card Manufacturing Magazine; and is the author of two books, Online Identity Theft Protection for Dummies® and Making Passwords Secure: How to Fix the Weakest Link in Cybersecurity. Dovell is a frequent speaker and sought-after consultant on the topic of passwords, cybersecurity, and building secure, affordable and appropriate computer authentication infrastructures.

“Over the years, I have been part of numerous planning sessions, but I have to say that Gord’s ability to get straight to the point and see through all of the cloudiness is inspirational. He has an uncanny gift of being able to read individuals and situations, while bringing out their best in a very short amount of time. He helped us to produce great results that are truly actionable.”
Cynthia Annett, Board Chair

“Having gathered a group of smart and powerful people to consult on a potential new project, I was nervous; these were not people with time to waste. I put my trust in Gord to create a meeting that would make good use of the time they were spending in the room that day, and he did not disappoint. Somehow, he simultaneously fostered a relaxed and casual atmosphere while keeping us on topic and on schedule. He ushered us through an extremely productive and rewarding conversation but never gave us any feeling of being controlled or overly formal. Not only did we accomplish our objectives, several of my attendees commented to me afterwards on the quality of the meeting and the facilitation. I’m grateful to have had Gord in my corner that day.”

Prevent Big Fines (or Worse!) for Your Healthcare Practice; Learn How to Plan a Privacy Impact Assessment

Posted on November 18, 2015 by Jean Eaton in PMN Replay, Practice Management Nugget Interview

Join us for the free webinar,

How to Plan a Privacy Impact Assessment for Your Healthcare Practice

A PIA should be as common place to a healthcare practice as a business plan is to a business. BUT most healthcare practices don't know this and often don't know that a PIA is  usually part of their professional college requirements and often even a legislated requirement! Prevent malicious errors, omissions or attacks that could result in fines and even jail time for the business, healthcare provider, employee, or vendor by completing a PIA.

You need a Privacy Impact Assessment when:

  • You  are opening a new clinic or establishing a new health services program.
  • You are changing administrative procedures or technology equipment, services, or vendors
  • You are changing how you collect and use personal information,
  • You are implementing or changing an Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
  • You are sharing health information with another healthcare provider, organization, Primary Care Network or other health program.
  • You have a Privacy Impact Assessment that was written more than 2 years ago? (It is time to review and update this!)

Doing a Privacy Impact Assessment for your practice is easy – once you figure it out.  I have helped hundreds of clients complete their Privacy Impact Assessment and visited hundreds of practices across Alberta.  I've figured it out . . . so you don't have to! Now I’m going to share with you what you need to know to plan your PIA. 

profileLadywithBriefcase_v2Jean L. Eaton, the Practical Privacy Coach, will give you an overview of the Privacy Impact Assessment process, including:

  • What is a PIA
  • When do you need a PIA
  • How to plan a PIA

You will get

  • Learning Resource Guide
  • Checklists to help you plan your PIA

This is for you if you are a healthcare provider, practice manager, or vendor that supports a healthcare provider in a group or solo practice with direct patient care, for example a:

  • Physician
  • Pharmacist
  • Registered nurse
  • Optometrist or optician
  • Chiropractor
  • Physiotherapist
  • Midwife
  • Podiatrist
  • Dentist, dental hygienist or denturist
  • Audiologist
  • Mental health practicitioner
  • Laboratory, x-ray, and imaging technician
  • Paramedic

In this FREE 30-minute Practice Management Nugget Webinar  Jean will answer your questions about planning a PIA for your healthcare practice. I have a Special BONUS Gift for those who show up live – Don't miss out and register today!

Planning a PIA for your healthcare practice is easy when you have tools, resources and the Practical Privacy Coach and Practice Management Mentor to help you.

Privacy Policy

"I had the pleasure of working alongside Jean to develop a PIA for my Dental Office. I could not have completed this document without her. She was there to help me every step of the way. Her online course made it easy to communicate with her as well as having so many resources to use that were so helpful. Each Module had videos to watch that explained step by step what needed to be done. The PIA document is a lot of information to put together and if it's not enough information on its own, you also need to develop a policy and procedures manual. Jean has developed an amazing resource for this manual that was very user friendly and made a 300 page manual a lot more attainable than creating it on your own. I highly recommend taking Jean's PIA course and having her help throughout the process!"
