ca nurse 42020istock

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) training program was designed to improve the healthcare industry via securing patients’ sensitive information, facilitating the administrative processes for healthcare industries, and, ultimately, reducing costs. Because any person with access to PHI is required to take that training, it is important to understand how it works and why healthcare providers have to give that training to their employees. Healthcare staff in group health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, or healthcare insurance companies are required to take this training as well. If you want to know why this training is so important, continue reading these following points.

“Fair Share” Housing and the Secret Democrat Plan to turn NJ-05 Blue

high density housing 222
By Frank Pallotta GOP Congressional Candidate for District 5
“As I have traveled the District these past 18 months, I’ve heard from a number of residents eager to speak openly about a wide variety of issues. They have also been willing to offer both real insight and practical solutions.
Regardless of county or town, there is one matter that consistently comes up. The High-density housing mandates that are being forced upon our State by predatory developers and the extremist wing of the Democrat party are ruining small and large towns across New Jersey – all under the guise of “Affordable Housing”. “

Recent Village Visitor Says,”It turned out to be an expensive breakfast”

CBD 2020

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ a recent visitor to the Village had this to say about the central business district on Facebook, “Things are tough enough for businesses with a governor who shuts everything down – We have a home in Florida with a governor who knows how to keep business open or at least moves toward reopening. NJ is ridiculous. We go to Village of Ridgewood to support local restaurants. Roads are closed – good to see accommodation yet Ridgewood squeezes $8,000 a weekend out or restaurants to use the street. We see a parking area in poorly marked lots and my wife sees spots open – went too far and turned around to park. Parked wrong way in the lot. I got out and paid the machine. After breakfast we came back to find a $55 parking ticked for parking the wrong way. It turned out to be an expensive breakfast. Well played Ridgewood – parking is messed up with streets closed, so why be so aggressive with enforcement? This is not a time for screwing with people with over zealous enforcement. We can afford the ticket and will pay it. Many people are hurting and can’t. But we will not be back to Ridgewood anytime soon. I feel bad for the business and the mess they’re dealing with but if the Village treats the customers like this, unfortunately the businesses suffer until they force change. This experience and the difference how things are done in Tampa Bay Area of Florida and the state in general shows why people are voting with their feet and leaving NJ and NY.”
