  • 2. 

    The Commission on Cancer can be held liable for violations to release of confidential information? 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Commission on Cancer can be held liable for violations to release of confidential information because they are responsible for ensuring that cancer programs comply with certain standards, including protecting patient privacy. If they fail to do so and confidential information is released without proper authorization, they can be held legally responsible for the breach.

    All accredited cancer programs MUST sign a business associate agreement with the Commission on Cancer before they can be surveyed

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because all accredited cancer programs are required to sign a business associate agreement with the Commission on Cancer before they can undergo a survey. This agreement ensures that the cancer program will comply with privacy and security regulations related to patient health information. By signing this agreement, the cancer program acknowledges its responsibility to protect patient data and maintain confidentiality.

  • 4. 

    Because a surveyor does not usually SEE confidential patient identifiers, he or she does not need to be concerned with HIPAA regulations

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement in the question is incorrect. A surveyor, even if they don't physically see confidential patient identifiers, still needs to be concerned with HIPAA regulations. HIPAA regulations are in place to protect the privacy and security of patients' health information, and anyone who handles or has access to this information, including surveyors, must adhere to these regulations to ensure patient confidentiality is maintained.

  • 5. 

    Which is the BEST method to protect your computer from release of confidential information and/or data?

    • Use a power plug vs a battery

    • Require a secure password to log into your computer

    • Tag your computer with a business card in case it gets lost or stolen

    Correct Answer
    A. Require a secure password to log into your computer
    Explanation
    Requiring a secure password to log into your computer is the best method to protect your computer from the release of confidential information and/or data. This is because a strong password acts as a barrier against unauthorized access, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access the computer and its data. Using a power plug vs a battery and tagging the computer with a business card may have other benefits, but they do not directly address the protection of confidential information and data.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A Business Associate can be:

    • An organization

    • A person

    • Both and organization or a person

    Correct Answer
    A. Both and organization or a person
    Explanation
    A Business Associate can refer to either an organization or a person who is involved in carrying out certain functions or activities on behalf of a covered entity. This can include activities such as providing legal, accounting, or consulting services, as well as handling or transmitting protected health information. Therefore, the correct answer is that a Business Associate can be both an organization or a person.

    What do you do if you forgot your password to CoC datalinks?

    • Ask another surveyor or co-worker for their user ID and password

    • Call the CoC on the phone and ask for your password

    • Email CoC datalinks to reset your password

    Correct Answer
    A. Email CoC datalinks to reset your password
    Explanation
    If you forgot your password to CoC datalinks, the recommended action is to email CoC datalinks to reset your password. This implies that the CoC datalinks system has a process in place to handle password resets through email communication. Asking another surveyor or co-worker for their user ID and password is not a secure or recommended practice, as it can compromise the security and privacy of both parties. Calling the CoC on the phone and asking for your password may not be effective, as they may require additional verification before providing the password.

    Some state laws provide MORE explicit constitutional privacy protection than others

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Some state laws provide more explicit constitutional privacy protection than others. This means that certain states have laws in place that specifically outline and protect an individual's right to privacy, while other states may have less explicit or comprehensive privacy protections. This suggests that the level of privacy rights granted to individuals can vary depending on the state they reside in.

  • 9. 

    HIPAA regulates impact the survey process but DO NOT impact the collection of data from NCDB

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    HIPAA, which stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a regulation that governs the privacy and security of individuals' health information. It does indeed impact the survey process, as it requires healthcare organizations to comply with certain standards when collecting and handling patient data. However, HIPAA does not directly impact the collection of data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB), which is a national repository of cancer patient data used for research and quality improvement purposes. Therefore, the given statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The annual maximum penalty for HIPAA violations is:

    • $1,000,000

    • $5,000,000

    • $1,500,000

    Correct Answer
    A. $1,500,000
    Explanation
    The correct answer is $1,500,000. The annual maximum penalty for HIPAA violations is determined based on the level of negligence involved. The penalties range from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with a maximum penalty of $1.5 million per year for each violation category. This includes violations due to reasonable cause, willful neglect that is corrected, and willful neglect that is not corrected. Therefore, $1,500,000 is the correct answer as it represents the highest possible penalty for HIPAA violations in a single year.
