State Chapters Section Has New Web Address: Adjust Your Bookmarks

In order to better organize online State Chapter information, we have created a new web address: www.amda.com/chapters.

The new web address is concise and easy to remember. All of the existing information and fact sheets are there, only the web address has changed.

Please change your bookmarks and links to the new web address.

New Resource Sections on HIPAA and Liability

We have developed two new sections on the AMDA web site: the first is focused on HIPAA resources and the second on liability issues.

The new HIPAA Resources section features articles and frequently-asked questions about HIPAA and the evolving issue of health information privacy as well as links to legislative and regulatory information--including information on state privacy statutes. Visit www.amda.com/federalaffairs/hipaa.

The new Liability Coverage and Risk Management Resources for the Medical Director and Attending Physician section contains important information about liability coverage for medical directors, updates on federal and state legislation, and an excerpt from an upcoming revision to AMDA's Model Agreement Package for Nursing Facility Medical Director Services that addresses liability coverage. Visit www.amda.com/federalaffairs/liability.
