Mikah/Jacques,

Thanks
Ty

Summary: Heartland is requiring that all merchants comply with PCI-DSS standards, and as part of this effort, have partnered with ControlScan to serve as both the ASV and QSA. Failure to comply with these standards, will lead to a penalty for those business owners not in compliance.

Where are we at? The IT Security Manager was informed by Heartland, and was informed that ControlScan, the ASV/QSA, would serve as the primary interface and represent Heartland for facilitating and managing the compliance around this effort. Subsequently, a call occurred with Heartland, where the IT Security Manager explained that Casino Arizona was already PCI-DSS compliant with its own QSA, and abased on this information, ControlScan informed him that a certificate (proof) would address this requirement. The certificate should sent with a Merchant ID, and emailed to support@controlscan.com.

    HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. Barua is a 42-year-old gentleman from Bangladesh who presents with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and tachycardia. Dr. J.K. McClain of cardiology is evaluating his heart condition. The patient has had the recent onset of hypomtesis. He was treated for tuberculosis in Bangladesh 15 years ago. This has prompted the concern of whether his treatment for tuberculosis was adequate, or whether there is another cause for his hymoptesis. The duration of his tuberculosis treatment was apparently adequate, according to his wife. But, no records are available. In addition, the patient had a thrombosis of the axillary artery treated last year at Hillcrest. He had an embolectomy and has been on Coumadin since. INR is significantly elevated at 16. None the less, because of the cavitary lesions that are seen in the right and left upper lobes, the possibility of tuberculosis has been raised. Ancillary history was given by the patient’s wife Nupor, with the patient translating for her from the Hindi language.…

    As reviewing the Joint Commission, I learned a lot of information that I didn’t know. Joint Commission accreditation can be earned by many types of health care organizations, including hospitals, doctor’s offices, nursing homes, office based surgery centers, behavioral health treatment facilities, and providers of home care services. There are several different types of health care facilities accredited by the Joint Commission such as, Ambulatory Health Care, Behavioral Health Care, Critical Access Hospitals, Home Care, Hospital, Laboratory Services, Nursing Care Center, and International Accreditation. I also found out that the behavioral health care accreditation since 1969 when it began accrediting organizations. The Joint Commission behavioral accreditation provides a management framework to help manage the risk and enhance the quality and safety of care, treatment and services. The Behavioral Health Home Certification goes into effect January 1, 2014, is an optional certification available to organizations accredited under The Joint Commission Behavioral Health Care Accreditation program. As searching and reading the Joint Commission website I found out that that the accredited organizations may serve people throughout the life span or specialize in an age or disability group. They also have various settings and populations and includes: Addictions, Case Management, and Corrections, Eating disorders, Foster care, and Outpatient programs. United States citizens make up at least 10% of the organizations client population. I really found out some important information.…
