We were recently asked by some of our community partners to provide training on healthcare privacy (including HIPAA) for non-medical partners (of course, our health care partners are also welcome to attend), how to access records from Axis Health System, and Requests for Information.
|
We are inviting you to a free training with our Legal and Compliance team on the rules around the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the sharing of client and patient information among non-medical providers, using Requests for Information (ROI), and how to get records from Axis Health System. We will offer two in-person opportunities to attend this training at the Durango Public Library, 1900 E. 3rd, Durango, on Wednesday, May 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and again from 11:30 to 1:00 p.m.(you only need to attend one of the sessions). While we encourage you to attend one of these sessions in person, we will be providing a ZOOM option.
|
We will cover the following topics and will allow time for further questions,
|
- HIPAA, Privacy Rule, “exceptions,” including law enforcement/judicial
- Security Rule, HITRUST, & Encryption
- 42 CFR Part 2
- FERPA
- Special cases, including court-appointed guardians, the foster system
- Third-party requests for records from Axis

Past the Pandemic:
Individual Wellbeing,
Connection and Support
June 8 - July 13
|
This ECHO series offers providers and other staff working in health care settings an opportunity to navigate, normalize and validate worries, stressors and experiences related to various health care environments. Participants will develop an awareness of the manifestations of stress along a continuum. With this framework, each session will provide helpful, tangible tools in a psychoeducational, didactic format to increase capacity, mitigate burnout, elevate connectedness and mindfulness, and promote self-efficacy and quality patient care.
|
This series is the newest iteration of Past the Pandemic, launched in 2020, and provides updated curriculum to capture current stressors in health care. This program is now a part of a state-wide initiative, Colorado CARES, aimed at increasing health care worker retention and resiliency.
