Using QR Codes to Store Patient Information in a Cloud Computing Environment for Knight Radiology, Inc.
Proposal
Subject
This proposal will discuss the QR code within Knight Radiology. By adding a QR Code, this will bring up all the patient information within HIPPA guidelines. Knight Radiology plans on utilizing a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication) System and RIS (radiology information system) to implement the QR Code.
Problem
The business problem is initial costs for a small business for PACS, network connectivity, efficient strategic planning. From a support staff view, a lot of paperwork and dusty files. Another problem is patient information on the QR Code being compliant within HIPAA. Not being in compliance within HIPAA could lead to several fines and/or possible jail time. HIPAA stands for Health Information Portability and Accountability Act.
Proposed Solution
The best way to plan and implement these strategies is to create work groups , radiologists, technologists, and administrative and support staff. Once the group agrees on the strategy and tactic, it takes responsibility for implementation. Implementing the QR code into PACS/RIS system will eliminate future paperwork. By scanning in the QR code, patient information including images within HIPAA will be displayed. Also, using twitter to discuss a summary of the business and QR Code with the hash tag can be helpful from a marketing standpoint.
High Level Approach
To ensure being within HIPAA compliance, I would hire Kroll Advisory Solutions, an advisory HIPAA Self Risk Assessment. The self-assessment provides a thorough and comprehensive
