Delivering Transcriptions in a Culture of Confidentiality and Security


TranscriptionWing has successfully thrived as a trusted transcriptions provider over the years because we have always actively sought improvements in ensuring the security and confidentiality of client information that we process.

In light of a recent report concerning security issues involving on-demand transcriptions provider Rev and their handling of customer data, secure transcriptions provider Civicom™ TranscriptionWing weighs in on the importance of the implementation of stringent security measures in multiple components and stages of the transcription process.

In an article published last week, OneZero reports that information from clients who request transcriptions from transcription service Rev are stored in a database accessible to tens of thousands of Rev transcribers. This database allegedly displays full names and business titles of customers and any Rev transcriber can listen to an audio or video file while it is unclaimed.

TranscriptionWing, Civicom’s transcribing unit, is a leading provider of accurate and secure transcriptions. In contrast to Rev’s practices, TranscriptionWing utilizes a proprietary transcription manager where transcripts and audio files can only be accessed by transcriptionists to whom they are assigned – a measure put in place to eliminate the risk of client data breach.

Anonymized recordings and transcripts are processed by a thoroughly vetted group of transcriptionists and editors who are required to sign confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements. Transcribers are provided with secure, encrypted laptops with restricted access to non-essential applications offline and online.

Completed transcripts are deleted from the transcriber access tool once a project has been finished and sent to the client via encrypted mail. Additionally, when transcripts and audio files are deleted, they are securely purged to remove artifacts as well as the possibility of recovery from the TranscriptionWing database. More information on TranscriptionWing’s retention policy can be found here.

Earlier this year, TranscriptionWing was confirmed compliant by an external auditor with the federally mandated standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and continues to be GDPR compliant.

“We have successfully thrived as a trusted transcriptions provider over the years because we have always actively sought improvements in ensuring the security and confidentiality of client information that we process,” said Francis Bilowan, Managing Editor of TranscriptionWing. “We have security and confidentiality measures in place to ensure our compliance to various regulations that formalizes our utmost regard for the privacy and security of our clients’ information.”

TranscriptionWing continues to remain vigilant in keeping its security standards up-to-date through continuous review and audit of internal processes and controls, with the aid of external consultants and specialized staff dedicated to safeguarding data.

The Rooted Alumni Program Promises Clients Long-Term Recovery


News Image

We want to reinvigorate those good feelings that treatment creates and continue to generate hope in each of our clients’ lives.

Promises Behavioral Health, a leading provider of addiction and mental health treatment, has developed an alumni program to help clients stay on track with their recovery after initial care. The Rooted alumni program will be a part of all 10 of the Promises facilities at no extra cost to their clients.

The Rooted alumni program was created with the understanding that clients need continued support after treatment. This program gives clients that support by providing continued check-ins with facility alumni coordinators and essential resources for addiction and mental health recovery. Each facility also hosts weekly, on-site alumni meetings, sober group outings, community volunteer opportunities and homecoming events; all in an effort to boost social engagement and provide an outlet to share stories of success and struggle. By bridging the gap after treatment, clients can return to their recovery roots and find hope during difficult times.

“This program is so important for maintaining peer to peer connection,” says Patrick Custer, National Director of Alumni with Promises Behavioral Health. “We want to reinvigorate those good feelings that treatment creates and continue to generate hope in each of our clients’ lives.”

The Rooted alumni program will be offered to all clients who complete their treatment plan within the Promises Behavioral Health family of facilities. This program will benefit clients by giving them the tools to maintain long-term recovery results and will provide fellowship opportunities which are a proven factor in life-long sobriety. Research indicates that a mixture of behavioral health treatment, sober housing options, and “life-affirming” alumni services reduces relapse and psychiatric symptoms. In creating the Rooted alumni program, Promises Behavioral Health can deepen client to client relationships and provide hope for those struggling after treatment.

About Promises Behavioral Health

Promises Behavioral Health is a family of behavioral health programs with regional brands such as The Right Step, The Ranch, Promises and Clarity Way. The company currently operates facilities across Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Promises offers comprehensive, innovative treatment for substance abuse, sexual addiction, trauma, eating disorders, and other mental health disorders.

Delaware’s Syringe Services Program is Saving Lives and Taxpayer Dollars


News Image

“It’s a huge deal because it translates into saving lives and over $107 million of State money on the cost of treatment for those who might otherwise have contracted HIV infections.”

One outcome of the opioid epidemic in Delaware has gone relatively unnoticed – the positive impact of the Syringe Services Program. Sharing used syringes increases the risk of contracting an infectious disease. Brandywine Counseling and Community Services is doing a lot to stop this from happening.

“Over 700,000 used syringes have been safely destroyed and exchanged for sterile ones, preventing the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and Hep C,” said BCCS CEO Dr. Lynn Morrison. “That’s a huge deal because it translates into saving lives and over $107 million of State money on the cost of treatment for those who might otherwise have contracted HIV infections.”

BCCS takes the responsibility of running Delaware’s only (ever!) syringe services program (SSP). “We’ve grown from a small Wilmington-based program to Statewide,” said Prevention Program Manager Adam Smiley. “From the start, we’ve had a great relationship with the Division of Public Health, who has been behind us 100%.”

The initiative started as a direct ‘street outreach’ program in 1987 during the HIV epidemic before being written into law in 2007 as a 5-year pilot program, and made permanent in 2011. SSP now operates via two Winnebago vehicles driven to strategic community locations on a weekly basis across the State. Services include testing for HIV, HepC and pregnancy. Naloxone is distributed along with fentanyl testing strips, first aid kits, safer sex kits and condoms. All services are free of charge and no insurance is required.

In New Castle County, the RV visits several communities. In Wilmington: Hilltop, Eastside, West Center City, Eastlawn, Browntown, 11th Street Bridge, Southbridge and Brandywine Hills. In Kent County: Interfaith Mission, W. Division St., and S. DuPont Highway in Dover, and Harrington. In Sussex County: Rehoboth, Millsboro, Georgetown and Seaford. Stops are also made in Newark and Claymont. Check the BCCS website for the SSP schedule.

The SSP currently has 3,728 participants. Of those residents, more than 70 percent take part in treatment and other health-related services once they make the connection to the program — meaning there are ultimately fewer cases of HIV and clients get the help they need to transition to a healthier life. Since its inception, SSP has made 65,000 referrals to treatment programs, outpatient facilities and detox centers to help clients continue with their recovery.

According to Dr. Morrison, “The ultimate mission of BCCS is to help communities flourish. No one is turned away. We work with the entire population, because prevention and behavioral services do not, and cannot, differentiate between social classes. We just ask our neighbors to continue to support us and our efforts to eradicate opioid addiction and its devastating impact to the neighborhoods and families of Delaware.”

BCCS is a non-profit organization that offers accessible behavioral health resources to those impacted by substance abuse, mental health issues, HIV, and their related challenges. Programs include prevention, education, early intervention, treatment and justice-involved services.

Project Lifeline Community Partner, Researcher to be Honored at NACDS Foundation Dinner for Opioid Abuse Prevention Work


NACDS Foundation Logo

There is no greater tribute to their work than to announce that the NACDS Foundation is expanding Project Lifeline to Allegheny County to help even more Pennsylvanians now, and to provide the framework model that can make a positive impact across the nation.

Project Lifeline – a community partnership and research program initiated by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) Foundation to address substance use disorder (SUD) – will take center stage at the upcoming NACDS Foundation Dinner.

Two individuals who have led to the program’s effectiveness in preventing and treating opioid abuse in Blair County, Pennsylvania, will receive the NACDS Foundation’s Excellence in Patient Care Award. At the same time, the NACDS Foundation is announcing that the program is expanding to Pennsylvania’s Allegheny County.

The NACDS Foundation will present the award to Janice L. Pringle, Ph.D., founder and director of the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy Program Evaluation and Research Unit (PERU), and to Judy Rosser, executive director of Blair Drug and Alcohol Partnerships. The 21st Annual NACDS Foundation Dinner will be held December 4, 2019, at the Sheraton New York Times Square in New York City.

NACDS President Kathleen Jaeger said, “We look forward to honoring the community partnership and research of Dr. Janice Pringle and Judy Rosser. Their incredible work has helped to make a difference in Blair County and in the lives of those who have benefited from more than 4,000 screenings over the past year – in a way that seeks to remove the stigma of SUD while providing much-needed care. There is no greater tribute to their work than to announce that the NACDS Foundation is expanding Project Lifeline to Allegheny County to help even more Pennsylvanians now, and to provide the framework model that can make a positive impact across the nation.”

The awardees and their organizations, in partnership with local community pharmacies, set out in October 2018 to evaluate the sustainability and feasibility of the evidence-based practice known as SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment). SBIRT is a process designed to provide comprehensive care for a patient with, or at risk of developing, SUD.

In Project Lifeline, individuals with a schedule II opioid prescription are screened for opioid use disorder and SUD at the pharmacy. The results are used to provide the appropriate intervention or linkage to care. Patients are provided education and counseling, naloxone, immunizations, and HIV/Hepatitis C screenings and linkage to care, as appropriate. Project Lifeline has conducted over 4,200 SUD screenings over the past year and has distributed naloxone to over 300 patients.

Project Lifeline reflects the public-health and patient-outcomes focus of the NACDS Foundation, which funds evidence-based research, educational programs and philanthropic initiatives.

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization that pursues evidence-based research, and related medication management and educational initiatives, that benefit patients, improve outcomes and advance public health.

Heart to Heart Hospice Recognizes National Hospice and Palliative Care Month


News Image

“We are privileged to make a difference in the lives of our patients and families through compassionate care that provides comfort, support and dignity.”

Throughout November, Heart to Heart Hospice is joining organizations across the nation in recognizing National Hospice and Palliative Care Month and encouraging people to increase their understanding and awareness of end-of-life care.

For more than 40 years, hospice has provided comfort and dignity to millions of people, allowing them to spend their final months at home – where 80 percent of Americans prefer to be – surrounded by their loved ones.

Nearly 1.5 million Medicare beneficiaries receive care from hospices in this country every year, according to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO). And it’s important to note that the cost of hospice care is covered through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, the Medicaid Hospice Benefit, and by most private insurers.

Hospice ensures that pain management, therapies, and treatments all support a plan of care that is centered on the person’s goals. This specialized care also provides emotional and practical support to help family members become confident caregivers and adjust to the future, with grief support for up to 13 months.

“It is essential that people understand that hospice and palliative care is not giving up, it is not the abandonment of care, and it is not reserved for the imminently dying,” said Edo Banach, president and CEO of the NHPCO. “Hospice is a successful model of person-centered care that brings hope, dignity and compassion.”

Hospice is unique in that it offers a team-oriented approach to treating individuals living with life-limiting illnesses. Caring for the whole person allows the team to address each patient’s unique needs and challenges.

“Hospice provides the best level of care possible when people need it most,” said Heather Lumsdon, BSN, RN and Chief Clinical Officer of Heart to Heart Hospice. “Our professional care team comes alongside patients and their families during very difficult times,” she said. “We are privileged to make a difference in the lives of our patients and families through compassionate care that provides comfort, support and dignity.”

About Heart to Heart Hospice

Heart to Heart Hospice, founded in 2003, is one of the largest private providers of hospice care in the United States. Headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Heart to Heart provides a broad range of hospice services to patients with life-limiting illnesses across 35 locations in Texas, Michigan and Indiana. At Heart to Heart, we understand both the physical and emotional challenges for our patients and their loved ones and our care team is committed to providing them with what they need most: comfort, support and dignity. Learn more about Heart to Heart Hospice.

About the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization

National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization is the nation’s first and largest membership organization for providers and professionals who care for people affected by serious and life-limiting illness. The organization is committed to improving and advancing the proven integrated, person-centered healthcare model that its members put into practice daily – one that provides patients and their loved ones with comfort, peace, and dignity during life’s most intimate and vulnerable experiences, while also addressing holistic health and the well-being of communities. http://www.nhpco.org
