Visit Edmonton! It's nice almost 4 whole weeks a year! We have a road that's a circle (mostly)! Antioch fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Aug 30, 2017 |

Vulture Culture posted:Maybe my impressions are wrong, but to me, contract-to-hire is an organizational smell that suggests the company is unable to terminate underperformers once they hire them. It can be and I see how it would be undesirable to want to work at place that's just treating its problems opposed to curing them. It's also used a way to not give out full-time benefits - see permatemps. On the other hand, it sometimes can work out in your favor with a higher overall hourly rate. What I'm saying is it can be a bad deal but don't completely just write these jobs off. Employees do get burned but so have plenty of managers.

We offer VoIP and cloud services to medical businesses that are not HIPAA compliant. How hosed are we?

Probably not hosed unless you mean the potential loss of business, or you're claiming about compliance that you don't have. It's up to the organisation that needs to adhere to regulations to ensure that they do things properly.

How do you know without looking at their confidential information, and do you have authorized access to that data?

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:The saga continues and it is loving beautiful... The saga ends. Our unfortunate Sr SysEng was fired for going to the doctor. We're about to renovate the entire building and can't have any downtime. Which means we have to move the entire server room, AND all of the utilities including all of our incoming phones, internet, and fiber to satellite locations. So now not only are we short handed in actually doing this move, we've lost the one person who has the most intimate knowledge of our virtual environment right in the middle of the biggest project anyone here has undertaken. Great job boss. The best possible outcome of all this is that we actually manage to pull off the move and thereby justify that we do not need to fill his position, so we're permanently down a guy.

What I meant was that our services are not HIPAA compliant and we sell it to medical companies. Most don't think to ask whether they are. I've seen some evidence that the service provider bears some liability along with the customer for HIPAA.

Counterpoint: I went to the doctor a half dozen times and was out for surgery for nearly a week in my first month of employment at my current gig. Then got a raise and a bonus 3 months later. i'm still paying for the surgery because it happened 3 days before my new insurance coverage started

Zapf Dingbat posted:So both us and the customer would be in the poo poo for not doing this basic step? I don't know this level of details with HIPAA but if I ran a cloud company, I would be sure not to take on any medical data (or sign contracts with medical clients) if I knew the system wasn't compliant. Ultimately it's the hospital's responsibility to know what data they are putting where. If they sign a deal with you to store employee review files and end up putting medical history of patients on there, that's on them for using non-compliant storage. If they signed a deal with you to store medical data but nobody asked about HIPAA, that's still on them, but also on your company to know better. I don't think HIPAA is taken lightly as to who's at fault, but who knowingly has breachable data.

The coincidence of being put on leave the day of his appointment is probably going to be enough. It's highly dependent on way more factors than we can know here, but on the surface it's not illegal to fire someone because you want to fire them. Taking a sick day is not a protected class. Now if he put in for FMLA time that would be different. He can almost certainly get unemployment. H110Hawk fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Aug 30, 2017 |

I can't see how it's your (employers) problem if people buy a service that is unsuitable for their requirements, when you've made no claims regarding its suitability. You're not claiming that your product is suitable for use in regulated industries but all the data is stored on USB disks stored in an alley.

iirc everyone involved with handling and/or storing medical data must be HIPAA compliant - even MSPs otherwise they COULD be held liable if someone's records become compromised and they decide to sue.

Make sure you never, ever, mention religion. It's all AUP based, which you had everyone sign right? 80 people has a lawyer somewhere, it may just be outside counsel. If you haven't had everyone sign some semblance of a policy it's time to cobble one together. This includes something about not using work equipment for personal use and not sending operational data to unapproved vendors. That software is personal use and sending operational data (including potential trade secrets) to an unapproved vendor.

The onus is almost 100% on the organization that owns the data, and without so much as a BAA they aren't compliant in the first place. People make a way bigger deal about HIPPA than it is in practice. I have clients that have literally had data breaches and lost millions of patient records and all they had to do was become compliant. No fines, lawsuits, etc.
