Staying Responsible Within The Healthcare Industry In The Era Of The Responsible Corporate Officer Doctrine

Author: Jane Kim J.D. Published: 2017-10-10 14:1 Ind. Health L.

Flowing from those efforts to combat fraud and abuse, the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) has pricked our consciousness with the Responsible Corporate Officer Doctrine (“RCOD”), whereby corporate officers are personally liable for the conduct of their companies.

Development of Public Health in America: ‘Guaranteed Issue’ Mandates

Author: Jane Kim Journal of Public Health, Volume 39, Issue 3, September 2017, Pages 433–439. Published: 02 September 2017 Today, the USA is struggling to balance access to healthcare for all its citizens with constraints of the federal budget and precepts of the US Constitution. This political struggle is nothing new. It became acute, however, when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), for short, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or more commonly known as Obamacare, mandated ‘guaranteed issue’ laws whereby insurers are required to make health insurance plans of all kinds, whether individual, small or large group health plans, available to all Americans without exclusions based on preexisting conditions, age, etc. and without premium increases based on such risk factors.

Part B takes a broad look at data security safeguards. Part C focuses on U.S. attempts at safeguarding data through NIST and its Presidential Policy Directive. In Part D, the paper explores in greater detail causes that precipitate security breaches and specific security defenses that may be implemented. Lastly, Part E ex-amines compliance programs that are essential in detecting, preventing or, at least, minimizing security threats and hacks, further obviating individual responsibility of corporate officers for breaches.
