Session Thirteen

Reading the statue for HIPAA provided me with information that I was not aware. I was always under the impression that HIPAA was strictly to prevent medical employees from viewing patient’s records. I learned that it protected patients from insurance fraud. One managerial issue with teleworking is managers do not have the face to face interaction needed for career development and mentoring. The business or work from the employees would be based on production. Mangers would monitor only the work accomplished, which will elude them from other factors concerning the employees personal life. I believe the teleworking can be used on a case by case basis, that is circumstances that prevents the employee from coming to work for a prolong period.
