In addition, hospitals and health systems are “covered entities” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and must comply with the defined set of mandatory safeguards under the HIPAA Security Rule. These safeguards include information access management, security incident procedures and data back-up plans, to name just a few. In addition, replacing previously electronic processes with manual processes has often proved ineffective and is adding considerable administrative costs for providers, as well as diverting team members from other tasks. Nearly all hospitals that responded to AHA’s survey have implemented one or more workarounds with varying degrees of success and at high cost. The AHA’s work in this area was critically important and allowed us to quickly assist members in their response to the Change Healthcare cyberattack. While some hospitals were able to access Medicare’s advance and accelerated payments (AAP) and UnitedHealth Group’s temporary financial assistance program, many had to pull from reserves or take out private loans to continue providing 24/7 care for their communities.
Opinion Is there a feud between the White House and New York Times?
Celebrities included Academy Award winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Scarlett Johansson, Jon Hamm and Chris Pines. To get inside Saturday's dinner, some guests had to hurry through hundreds of protesters outraged over the mounting humanitarian disaster for Palestinian civilians in Gaza. They condemned Biden for his support of Israel's military campaign and Western news outlets for what they said was undercoverage and misrepresentation of the conflict. Trump did not attend Saturday's dinner and never attended the annual banquet as president.

Protest organizers said they aimed to bring attention to the high numbers of Palestinian and other Arab journalists killed by Israel's military since the war began in October. Both the president and comedian Colin Jost, who spoke after Biden, made jabs at the age of both the candidates for president. "I'm not saying both candidates are old. But you know Jimmy Carter is out there thinking, 'maybe I can win this thing,'" Jost said. Criticism of the Biden administration's support for Israel's military offensive in Gaza has spread through American college campuses, with students pitching encampments and withstanding police sweeps in an effort to force their universities to divest from Israel. "We have to take this serious — eight years ago we could have written it off as 'Trump talk' but not after January 6," Biden told the audience, referring to the supporters of Trump who stormed the Capitol after Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 election. In the months since, Santos has emerged as a far-right gadfly and influencer, firing political salvos at Democrats and at moderate Republicans.

As a result, patients struggled to get timely access to care and billions of dollars stopped flowing to providers, thereby threatening the solvency of our nation’s provider network including hospitals, health systems, physicians, pharmacists and virtually every other type of care provider. While the AHA supports the consensus-based cybersecurity practices and is supporting our members in their adoption, we strongly object to the proposed penalties. First, as noted above, it is well-documented that the vast majority of the cybersecurity risk in the health care sector is from vulnerabilities in third-party technology, not hospitals’ primary systems.

Enforcing hospital adoption of these practices would have done nothing to prevent the Change Healthcare cyberattack or most other cyberattacks on the sector to date. Instead, Congress and other policymakers should focus their efforts on ensuring all health care stakeholders adopt appropriate cyber hygiene practices with a particular priority on third-party technologies. Unfortunately, the President’s FY 2025 budget recommends new penalties for hospitals and health systems for not meeting what the Administration refers to as “essential cybersecurity practices,” which we understand would be based on the consensus-based cybersecurity practices previously referenced.
It’s an interesting mix of people, with about an even blend of BDSM types and lifestyle folks. Certainly the only spot in town where you’ll find lifestyle-curious Venice beach girls mixing with kinky yoga teachers and pro-dommes having fun on their night off.
HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS ARE COMMITTED TO CYBERSECURITY
Organizations need to be thinking broadly about their security risks, including outside their organizations. This rule will not only benefit residents and their families, it will also ensure that workers aren’t stretched too thin by having inadequate staff on site, which is currently a common reason for worker burnout and turnover. Workers who are on the frontlines interacting with residents and understanding their needs will also be given a voice in developing staffing plans for nursing homes.
The translation should not be considered exact and in some cases may include incorrect or offensive language. If there is a downside, it’s that the events can seem a bit more about the porn star shows than about the attendees, and as a result many of the folks there seem be more into watching the show than there to meet or play. This seems to have become even more the case as Kinky Rabbit’s reputation has grown and it has kind of become a trendy “naughty thing for rich LA people to say they’ve been to”. The ticket price has been steadily increasing since the first time we attended, and are now up to $1200 per couple (June 2023).
Foreign Minister Israel Katz said “we expect the court to prevent the issuance of arrest warrants against senior Israeli officials,” saying such warrants would “provide a morale boost” to Hamas and other groups that Israel is fighting. The big-time porn star says Kanye's hit song, "Hey Mama," inspired him, because he wants to buy his mom a house.

"Since the Israel-Gaza war began, journalists have been paying the highest price — their lives — to defend our right to the truth. Each time a journalist dies or is injured, we lose a fragment of that truth," CPJ Program Director Carlos Martínez de la Serna said in a statement. One organizer complained that the White House Correspondents' Association — which represents the hundreds of journalists who cover the president — largely has been silent since the first weeks of the war about the killings of Palestinian journalists.
In his social media post announcing that he's abandoned his campaign, Santos again blasted the "abysmal" voting record of Rep. Nick LaLota, the Republican who currently holds the seat. Businesswoman and reality TV star Kim Kardashian visited the White House Thursday to meet with Vice President Kamala Harris about criminal justice reform, an issue for which Kardashian has long been an advocate. Kim Kardashian met with Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss criminal justice reform. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will hold a news briefing on Monday as U.S. ally Israel appears to be increasingly concerned that the International Criminal Court may issue arrest warrants against the country’s leaders. Muller purchased it in 1901 and when Front Street had to be widened, he relocated it by mule and wagon to 19th and Grand.
However, taxpayers are one of the largest sources of revenue for most commercial insurers. Given the critical role of the federal government in protecting our nation’s health care infrastructure, we must ensure that CMS and other appropriate agencies have the statutory authority to act quickly and provide broad support, including by compelling private payers to do their part. Some have suggested that hospitals and health systems are not subject to requirements for cybersecurity. In fact, the AHA was meaningfully involved in the development of the CPGs and will continue to work collaboratively with HHS, the Healthcare Sector Coordinating Council and other federal partners to enhance cybersecurity efforts for the entire health care field. This includes hospitals and health systems, technology providers, payers, pharmacists and other vendors, to ensure we are all protected against the primary source of cyber risk — criminal and nation state-supported cyber adversaries.
Higher wages will likely reduce turnover, leading to higher quality of care for older adults and people with disabilities across the nation, as studies have shown. States will also be required to be more transparent in how much they pay for home care services and how they set those rates, increasing the accountability for home care providers. Finally, states will have to create a home care rate-setting advisory group made up of beneficiaries, home care workers and other key stakeholders to advise and consult on provider payment rates and direct compensation for direct care workers. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect and to have access to quality care. That’s why, today, Vice President Harris is announcing two landmark final rules that fulfill the President’s commitment to safety in care, improving access to long-term care and the quality of caregiving jobs. Ensuring that all Americans, including older Americans and people with disabilities, have access to care – including home-based care – that is safe, reliable, and of high quality is an important part of the President’s agenda and a part of the President’s broader commitment to care.
But we appreciate the passion they have brought to create this, and we enjoyed dancing along to their DJs in the warehouse vibes. The crowd is pretty good – a decent number of fun & attractive people, with a pretty healthy sprinkling of Burners, ravers and ultra-nerdy types thrown in for good measure. While the parties can be fun, it’s becoming difficult for us to want to go when there are other parties that are even better and significantly less expensive (see above).
