Driving Innovation in Automotive and Mobility Safety: Haley Antoine Grantham ‘19

HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, enacted in 1996, safeguards sensitive health data through the Privacy and Security Rules. The Privacy Rule establishes national standards for protecting health information, while the Security Rule ensures the security of electronic protected health information (ePHI). Compliance with HIPAA is essential for healthcare entities, encompassing providers, plans, and associates, to prevent penalties. Patient privacy, data security, and staff training are imperative to safeguard personal and medical data. Leveraging healthcare IT (HIT) optimizes operations and patient care, adhering to standards like ITIL and IEC 80001 for risk management in IT networks incorporating medical devices. Seamless integration of medical devices into hospital networks enhances clinical decisions and patient care, utilizing methods such as vendor-specific interfaces, HIE platforms, and IoT integration. Cybersecurity is paramount in healthcare, addressing patient data protection and regulatory compliance. NIST guidelines and Manufacturer Disclosure Statement for Medical Device Security (MDS2) forms aid secure device integration, promoting patient confidentiality and data integrity.

Ep 293: Curiosity, Courage, and Leading With Impact With Emma Quentin of BD

Join us for an in-depth exploration of the groundbreaking research by Dr. Alexandra Corbett from Wrocław Medical University, published in Polymers in Medicine. Discover how the innovative technique of electrospinning is transforming the field of bone regeneration. This cutting-edge approach combines biodegradable polymers, such as PLLA and PCL, with hydroxyapatite (HAP)—a natural mineral found in bones and teeth—to create bioactive scaffolds that support the body in regenerating bone tissue.

We’ll delve into the scientific principles, potential applications, and challenges of bringing this advanced technology into clinical practice. From personalized bone scaffolds to the broader possibilities for tissue engineering, this episode highlights the future of regenerative medicine.
