Foreign exchange, or forex, is the conversion of one country’s currency into another.
In a free economy, a country’s currency is valued according to the laws of supply and demand.
In other words, a currency’s value can be pegged to another country’s currency, such as the U.S. dollar, or even to a basket of currencies.
A country’s currency value may also be set by the country’s government.
However, most countries float their currencies freely against those of other countries, which keeps them in constant fluctuation.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING AND HIPAA:

BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT IN THE HEALTH CARE

ENVIRONMENT

By James C. Barnes

Edited by Deborah Barnes, Philip Jan Rothstein, FBCI

ENDORSED BY THE BUSINESS CONTINUITY INSTITUTE (BCI) AND THE

DISASTER

RECOVERY INSTITUTE INTERNATIONAL (DRII).

This book examines business continuity planning as adapted to encompass the

requirements of The Health Care Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or

HIPAA. We

examine the typical business continuity planning model and highlight how the

special

requirements of HIPAA have shifted the emphasis. The layout of this book was

designed to

afford assistance, hints, and templates to the person charged with the task of

implementing

business continuity planning into a healthcare organization.

You will notice that this book does not address Emergency Management (building

evacuations and other immediate response procedures) because this is outside

the scope of

the HIPAA regulations.

Upon reading and re-reading the HIPAA regulations and the “Comments and

Responses” in

the federal register, it becomes quite evident that the “Contingency Plan” (read

Business

Continuity Plan) requirements were written by those looking to protect health

information

data. That being said, many of the examples that I use in this book relate to

information

technology and disaster recovery (recovery of computer capabili-ties). What is also

important, and that I try to emphasize throughout the book, is that recovering the

com-puter

systems of a health care organization will not necessarily get it operational again

after a

disaster; a multitude of other production components must be present in order to

deliver

services and products to customers/patients. Where appropriate, I have identified

procedures and strategies that are unique to healthcare provider organizations. If

not so

indicated, it can be assumed that I am referring to healthcare organizations in

general.
