Remote Login Access to the New PowerChart

1

Attention:  All PowerChart users who log in remotely from outside of TMMC

What’s happening? 

Please ensure the proper Operating System (OS) and Citrix Receiver are installed on machines to allow access to PowerChart. 

New requirement: Window 7 Operating System (OS) or higher and Citrix Receiver 3.4 or higher. 

Why is this changing? 

With Microsoft’s extended support for Windows Server 2003 ending July 14, 2015, the new requirement to access our hospital EMR has also been changed.  We will also use this opportunity to upgrade PowerChart to the newest version later in May.   

The change will allow us to continue to move forward with the future of Healthcare IT. 

What do you need to do? 

Please collaborate with your IT staff to validate both the operating system on the machine and upgrade to the new version of Citrix Receiver via www.citrix.com, also please visit our “Application Portal” for physicians for more information: (http://www.torrancememorial.org/For_Physicians/Application_Portal.aspx) 

HIPAA Tip

QUESTION: ARE WE REQUIRED TO PREVENT INCIDENTAL USE OR DISCLOSURES OF PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION? ANSWER: No. The HIPAA Privacy Rules does NOT require that all risk of incidental use or disclosure be eliminated to satisfy its standard. Rather, the Rule requires that covered entities (Torrance Memorial) implement reasonable safeguards to limit incidental uses or disclosures. An incidental disclosure that occurs as a result of a failure to apply reasonable safeguards where required, is NOT permitted under the Privacy Rule. SOME SAFEGUARDS INCLUDE, but not limited to, are: Speaking quietly when discussing a patient’s condition with family members in a waiting room or

public area, however, using a private area is recommended; Avoid using patient’s names in public areas or elevators; Locking file cabinets or rooms with PHI; Keep documents with PHI face down; Suspend, lock or log off your PC when you walk away; Providing unique security user name and passwords on computers; Screen savers and tools/devices to protect PHI on monitors; Ask visitors/family to step outside a patient’s room prior to discussing patient PHI,

treatment or administering procedures; Use shredding bins when disposing of PHI; Cover or black out PHI on labels; Select the correct admitting and ordering doctor on a patient; Select the correct patient and/or guarantor during registration; Fax to correct fax number (verify fax number) and include a fax cover sheet; Check your “PRINTER QUEUE” prior to printing reports / documents; Check the patient name prior to presenting reports/ results to patients; Obtain the patients authorization prior to the release of PHI for Non-TPO; and Do not post, text or email patient photos or PHI to devices or on social networks. PHI = PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION = Patient name, room number, address, phone number, diagnosis, SS#, insurance information, procedures, medications, results, photos, email address, etc. TPO = Treatment, Payment or HealthCare Operations.
