As a part of its continued efforts to assess compliance with HIPAA, the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has begun its next phase of audits of covered entities and their business associates. Every covered entity and business associate is eligible for an audit. OCR will send an email to covered entities and business associates to be audited. Such communications may be incorrectly classified as spam. The OCR states "We expect entities to check their junk or spam email folder for emails from OCR." The email requests that contact information be provided in a timely manner. If an entity does not respond to OCR’s request to verify its contact information or pre-audit questionnaire, OCR will use publicly available information about the entity to create its audit subject pool. Therefore an entity that does not respond to OCR may still be selected for an audit or subject to a compliance review. "We encourage covered entities to prepare a list of each business associate with contact information so that they are able to respond to this request," says the OCR.

A new study has called into question the standards used by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve new cancer drugs and whether those drugs are helping patients live longer or proof of improved quality of life. According to the study, "The problem today is that we have a plethora of drugs that were approved but follow-up data has not been appropriately obtained and published. We therefore may be harming patients, by giving drugs that don’t work and have significant side-effects." On average, the treatment cost of those drugs cost is about $10,000 a month.

In May, the American Chiropractic Association responded to a video on the MSN homepage that perpetuates misinformation that is harmful to health care consumers. ACA objected to the video, "A Neurologist Explains Why Going to a Chiropractor May Be a Waste of Money," featuring neurologist Steven Novella. ACA considers the article "a one-sided rant clearly intended to smear the reputation of the profession in the minds of health care consumers." In particular, Dr. Novella’s statements that chiropractors "do essentially what they want" is a blatantly false statement, according to ACA. Read ACA’s full letter to MSN in this article.
