Archives Hip HIPAA Hooray!Hip HIPAA Hooray! From e-mailing to gaming, texting, and gathering the latest news, sports scores, or weather, what can’t you do with your smart phone? Share private patient information. In an environment where health information privacy compliance is of the utmost importance, research performed by the Ponemon Institute shows that data breaches rose by 32 percent across the nation in 2011. The top causes for sharing personal information included lost or stolen computers, third parties, and unintentional employee action. Through the analysis, mobile devices were identified as an increasingly common problem. Think about your phone for a minute and how much you use it – frequently, if not constantly (you know who you are), and certainly more than you do a computer. Now think about where you place your phone when it is not attached to your hand - desks, conference room tables, coat pockets, and a variety of other places, making them easier to misplace, lose, or to be picked up by others. The study didn’t show that health records are being tweeted or shared on Facebook, but points out that mobile devices can be used to access files on electronic health record (EHR) systems. In fact, these devices are used by eighty-one
percent of the health care organizations that participated in the study to collect, store, or share data. In contrast, 49 percent of those organizations reported that they do not protect the devices and less than 24 percent use software to protect patient information. If nothing else, studies such as this show the need to keep your phones at hand and, when using them, keep patient information as private as your lowest “Angry Birds” score.

Locke-Nilhas
goes to Washington
Third-year medical student, Erin Locke-
Nilhas, MPH, recently presented her
study on the National Health Service
Corps and Clinical Retention at the
State Primary Care Offices annual
meeting in Washington D.C. While
there, she met with the health aides of
U.S. Sens. Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts of Kansas, as
well as with Sen. Moran. Elizabeth Ablah, PhD, MPH,
who served as Erin's adviser, and Robert Stiles (formerly
of the KDHE) were instrumental in moving the study
forward. The state of Delaware now plans to perform
their own study using Erin's protocol. To read Senator
Moran’s thoughts on Erin’s visit, click here.
HIPAA FactHIPAA FactHIPAA Fact According to the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Resources, the HIPAA Privacy Rule
“establishes national standards to protect
individuals’ medical records and other personal
health information and applies to health plans,
health care clearinghouses, and those health care
providers that conduct certain health care
transactions electronically. The Rule requires
appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of
personal health information, and sets limits and
conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be
made of such information without patient
authorization. The Rule also gives patients rights
over their health information, including rights to
examine and obtain a copy of their health records,
and to request corrections.” Justin Moore, MD

2011 W-2
Statements
Robert Jensen
Associate Professor

How long have you worked at KUSM–W and what was your job before
you came here? Off and on since 1977, but most recently since 1995 when I moved from the University of
Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington where I was a faculty member in the Department of
Internal Medicine. Besides clinical responsibilities in the care and evaluation of patients with
neurologic disorders, I was director of Outpatient Neurology Clinics, clerkship director for
the 3rd-year medical student Neurology Clerkship, and involved in training Neurology
residents and neuro-physiology fellows.
What are your job responsibilities and what do you like most about your
job? Pretty much the same. Except for the absence of Neurology residents and neurophysiology
fellows, I continue with patient care responsibilities and training other house staff and 3rd-
year medical students on the Neurology Clerkship. Providing patient care is in itself very
rewarding, but watching students armed only with compassion, determination, and
endurance evolve into competent, caring physicians is an occupational highlight.
What are your strengths? How I see myself may be entirely different from how I am viewed by others. But, I like to
think that I am insightful, that I can see conditions from another’s perspective , which is
probably why I do not win many arguments. Also, regardless of what situation I may find
myself, I try to be satisfied and enjoy what I am doing and with whom it is being done. I am
loyal (which Sarah sometimes may rightly interpret as “hardheaded”). I try to be open-
minded and tolerant, which is a paradox because I can be intolerant of bullies or those who
would intimidate weaker souls. Finally, I have been blessed with a healthy dose of
skepticism; I try not to make up my mind immediately, but wait until adequate proof has
been obtained.
What do you do in your spare time? We enjoy our friends and traveling. More recently, traveling has been limited to visiting
grandkids, and since they live more than a hop, skip, and a jump away, we have to wait for
big chunks of time in our schedule before taking off.
What’s a favorite movie and/or book? Too many to count. If you ask me tomorrow I would probably give a different answer. I
keep re-reading “The Divine Banquet of the Brain” by MacDonald Critchley, essays on
curious conditions afflicting higher cortical functions (eg., “Man’s Attitude to His Nose”),
which asks more questions than it answers. However, I cannot leave this question without
including a few other books: Joseph Heller’s “Catch-22,” Carl Hiaason’s “Native Tongue,”
William Least Heath Moon’s “Prairey Earth,” J.P. Donleavy’s “Beastly Beatitudes of
Balthazar B.,” William F. Buckley’s “Miles Gone By,” Irvin S. Cobb’s “Kansas,” Etgar Keret’s
“The Bus Driver Who Wanted to be God,” Edward Abbey’s “Desert Solitaire,” Tom
Robbin’s “Wild Ducks Flying Backwards,” and just about anything by Kurt Vonnegut. Oh,
and Jack Dalton’s “A Country Lawyer.” As I am a fourth generation Kansan, I must select
“The Wizard of Oz” as my favorite movie . . . an obligation for which I have no regrets.
But, a dirty secret that few may know is that I much enjoyed the cult movie “The Great
Lebowski.” A story about “The Dude,” a “slacker,” who is pretty much a harmless mess
who gets by and just wants to be left alone. “Live and let live” is his motto, and could be
mine, too.
Who is your hero or the person you most admire and why? Mahatma Gandhi, from what I have read about his principle of nonviolent civil
disobedience, but of course I never knew him personally. Of the people I have known I
must include my parents, Leroy and Polly, who taught me kindness and respect for others.
Michael McQuillen, a true patient advocate, who took compassion and concern for one’s
patients to a higher level. David Clark, a neurologist’s neurologist who was never afraid to
say he was wrong . . . but rarely was so. And, Sarah, the epitome of organization, efficiency,
and intuition, who can overlook my limitations and still love me for who I am.

Medical Record FactMedical Record FactMedical Record Fact Nearly 100 years ago at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Henry
Plummer developed the concept of the “unit
record,” in which all of a patient’s records reside in a
single file that travels with the patient and is stored
in a central location. This simple system quickly
became the standard for medical record keeping
around the world.

Patient was seen in consultation by Dr. (Blank), who felt we should sit on the abdomen and I agree.
By the time he was admitted, his rapid heart had stopped and he was feeling better.
On the second day the knee was better and on the third day it had completely disappeared.
She is numb from her toes down.
She slipped on the ice and apparently her legs went in separate directions in early December.
The patient has been depressed ever since she began seeing me in 1983.
The patient complains of a dry cough that hurts when he coughs and also when he takes deep breaths for 4
days.

Mark Schutte
Safety and Security Officer
Facilities Management
Excerpt from Mark Schutte’s daily log: “Upon
returning from Outdoor Patrol at 3:40 p.m., I found
a KUSM–W Psychiatry patient waiting for her ride
by the Minneapolis Street patient entrance. She told
me that she had been waiting there since 1:30 p.m.
for her husband to give her a ride home. I went into
Psychiatry and was given who to contact for her
from Psychiatry. After contacting her son in Wichita,
I along with Shanna Crowe from Midtown Clinic,
monitored her until her son arrived at 6:40 p.m.”
Mark will probably say this is just part of the job and
to some extent it probably is. But to go out of his
way to find contacts for her and call them to arrange
for this lady to get home was more, much more, and
on top of that, a wonderful act of kindness that is
not always recognized. If that had been my mother, I
would have deeply appreciated what he did and I am
sure her family appreciated it also. Thank you.
