Preventing Aspiration During Enteral Feeding
Enteral nutrition (EN) is the administration of a prescribed diet by means of a flexible tube inserted into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. While patients who require EN have a functional GI tract, they are unable or unwilling to orally ingest sufficient food and nutrients to meet their nutritional requirements. An important complication in patients receiving enteral nutrition encompasses pulmonary aspiration. This complication is one of tube-fed patients leading causes of death. Best practices to prevention are explored from ASPEN, the ACG Clinical Guideline, AACN and others.

COVID-19: HIPAA Matters: Privacy and Security Expectations During a Crisis
The Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and subsequent amendments are based on privacy and security rules. During a local or national crisis, additional rules and safeguards may apply. The President declared the Coronavirus (COVID-19) a national emergency on March 13, 2020.
On March 19, 2020, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced that the department will exercise its enforcement discretion and will not impose penalties for noncompliance with the regulatory requirements under the HIPAA Rules against covered healthcare providers in connection with the good faith provision of telehealth during the COVID-19 nationwide public health emergency. This notification is effective immediately.
The webinar will focus on the CMS guidelines for telehealth and the potential payment delays and legal ramifications that can result if organizations are not fully prepared. We will review the compliance elements required for written guidelines and training for providers and staff, appropriate settings for drive-through services, and how to update patient privacy notices. We will also review other liabilities that should be considered when adopting these exceptions, such as other conflicting state privacy laws, avoiding the use of unsecured social media, and training that will be helpful for providers and staff.
