Abstract

Agencies are pinning hopes for success under PPS on an accurate case-mix adjustor. The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) tasked Abt Associates Inc. to develop a system to accurately predict the volume and type of home health services each patient requires, based on his or her characteristics (not the service actually received). HCFA wanted this system to be feasible, clinically logical, and valid and accurate. Authors Goldberg and Delargy explain how Abt approached this daunting task.

Health insurance reform: security standards. Final rule.

This final rule adopts standards for the security of electronic protected health information to be implemented by health plans, health care clearinghouses, and certain health care providers. The use of the security standards will improve the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and other Federal health programs and private health programs, and the effectiveness and efficiency of the health care industry in general by establishing a level of protection for certain electronic health information. This final rule implements some of the requirements of the Administrative Simplification subtitle of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
