Hi Sharifa and Class,
I enjoyed your response, and it is very important that we ensure that our systems are secure.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) was developed to promote and expand the use of electronic health records (EHRs) by all healthcare providers. The goal was simple, to increase the number of providers in transitioning away from paper medical records to electronic means and further support the existing HIPAA requirements to maintain patient confidentiality while enforcing increased penalties for non-compliance.
The Act provided financial incentives for healthcare organizations through a program called Meaningful Use. In order to qualify for funding, healthcare providers had to show an increase in quality patient care and coordination, utilize electronic prescriptions and improve patient involvement in their own healthcare. As the financial incentives increased each year so did compliance by providers. The impact of the HITECH Act was instrumental in bridging the gap of information between providers and healthcare organizations which in my opinion was the catalyst for improving quality patient care and continuity.
HITECH has been impactful, it adds notification requirements for healthcare-related information security breaches; implements new data security standards for electronic health records; and expands security and privacy provisions beyond HIPAA. The HITECH Act extends the HIPAA security and privacy rules to non-HIPAA-covered entities, holding them to the same privacy and security standards as covered entities.

Frequently asked questions
How soon can I get my paper done?
It depends with your deadline. If you need your paper completed in 3 hours, we will deliver it in that time. All you need to do is indicate your deadline in our custom order page here. Alternatively, if you are sending us your instructions via email, please be sure to indicate your deadline.
Will it be completely original? I don't want to be caught in a case of Academic Integrity Violation.
We are as paranoid as you are. Maybe even more! And we understand that the greatest sin you can commit in your academic journey is plagiarizing your academic work. To that end, we have made sure that we check and double-check our papers using high quality plagiarism detection tools such as SafeAssign and Turnitin before submitting the paper to you.
Who is my writer? Is he/she a native English Speaker?
All our writers are native English Speakers. That is not to say that ESL writers are not good, we just prefer hiring native writers because we want the very best people working on your paper. This might mean paying a little bit more for your paper as opposed to when you pay a foreign company whose writers are non-native English Speakers.
What if I need revisions? Will your charge additional for this?
Of course not! If you do happen to require a revision on your paper, our team will handle it for you free of charge. Matter of fact, we won’t rest till you are happy with your paper. So, ask for as many revisions as you need, it’s completely FREE!
Will you give me my money back if I don't like my paper?
We have very few instances where we delivered a paper that a client didn’t fall in love with. But if it so happens that you don’t like your paper for any reason whatsoever, we’ll refund your money back no questions asked.
I have more assignments after this, can you help me with those too?
Of course! And what’s even better is that we can reserve a writer permanently to work on your entire class. This comes in handy for projects which build up on each other and where you need just one writer, one writing style.
I got my order information wrong, can I change that?
Yes you can. Just reach out to our support team via email (support@essaynook.com) or live chat here and they’ll help you change the instructions.
Can I place an order via email instead of going through the order page?
Yes you can. Email Anna at anna@essaynook.com, she’s in charge of our sales team. Alternatively, you can talk to our Live Chat team here and request to speak to Anna.
