Clay Johnston, the first dean of the University of Texas Dell Medical School, could have retired or gone to work at another university. Instead, he's helping to launch a different model of primary medical care with Harbor Health.

Johnston stepped down from Dell Medical School in September 2021, after leading the school since January 2014. The school just named its second dean, Dr. Claudia F. Lucchinetti from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She will start Dec. 1.

Harbor Health, which has both pediatric and adult primary care physicians, has opened two locations, one in Round Rock and one in Central Austin. It has more planned for Kyle and other Austin neighborhoods as well as mobile clinics with one or two test rooms each.

Improving care:Bass family gift $2.26 million to fund Dell Medical School study of UT Health Austin care model

The concept of Harbor Health is really an extension of what Johnston was working on at the medical school to Excellerate patient care while improving the cost of care, he said. "How can we better align with society's interests; how can we create a whole system of keeping people healthy?" he said.

Dell Medical School has been working in its specialty care clinics at UT Health Austin to get insurance companies to pay one price per patient for their care.

If a patient was seeing a specialist about a knee replacement, UT Health Austin wanted insurance companies to pay one fee to cover all the care the doctors and therapists working with that patient would provide throughout the whole process rather than billing for each event. It was very similar to the way insurance and the patient might pay an obstetrician one fee for the whole pregnancy, instead of doing a co-pay and insurance charge for every visit and every billable event.

Dell Medical School was working on "reducing waste in the system, and there's a ton of waste," Johnston said. "We were able to show we could do it. ... That should have been a huge experience."

The insurance companies, though, didn't buy in, Johnston said. "We wanted them to pay us for results," he said, instead of per-item fees. "They just wouldn't do it. ... We just kept running into walls."

Improving specialty care:UT Health Austin opens first clinics in $99 million project

Dell Medical School also looked at expanding care into primary care in this way, not just specialty, he said, but that's typically not where medical schools spend their energy, and a consultant strongly encouraged the school to not go that route, Johnston said.

Johnston said he realized about three years ago that this changing of the way health specialty care is billed and paid for by insurance wasn't catching on at the medical school, and Dell Medical School didn't have a way to scale it up, he said.

What he did have is one insurance company that was really interested in what Dell Medical School was trying to do. That was Bind Insurance from Indiana, and its founder, Tony Miller. Bind was rating the care doctors provided and charging patients more if they saw a doctor with not as good outcomes than if they saw a doctor with better outcomes.

Miller has since sold that insurance company and founded Harbor Health as its CEO with Johnston as its chief medical officer.

Like what Dell Medical School has tried to do with specialty care, Harbor Health wants to change the way insurance companies pay for primary care as well as change the primary care experience.

"We're in it to disrupt the system," Johnston said. "The health system has gone off the rails."

Changing insurance models:Health insurance with no co-pay or deductible? Curative is trying it in Central Texas

Harbor Health is working with insurance companies to get them to pay Harbor Health what they typically pay for care for each person a year. Harbor Health will then take that money and provide as much care as a patient needs as well as connecting patients with specialists who are either part of Harbor Health or in outside practice groups, but are recommended by Harbor Health based on their known outcomes.

"I don't play golf or drink Scotch, but if I did, I still wouldn't be choosing these doctors based on this," Johnston said. "We're getting a commitment from them to practice in a certain way."

Patients will have as much access to their care team as they want, including through text messages, calls, extended hours and Saturday hours.

Johnston likens the experience trying to get a pediatrician on the phone to talk about a child's stomach pain. Not being able to, a family might end up in the emergency room, paying for imaging and for emergency room and doctor fees for what is constipation.

"Getting access to a pediatrician should be simple," he said. That should include texting the doctor a question and getting an answer, he said.

A Harbor Health care team includes a primary doctor, a health guide to help patients navigate their health care, and a nurse. That primary care team will consult with specialists and bring them into the team, which might not require a separate visit by the patient to that specialist, if the primary care team can manage based on the specialist's recommendations.

"We're trying to do this differently," Johnston said. "We're trying to be responsive and cost-effective."

That means focusing on preventative care and taking time with patients. Johnston said, Harbor Health doctors might spend an hour working with a patient instead of the 15 or 20 minutes most primary care doctors allot.

Harbor Health is a for-profit company. It intends to make money by receiving the same fee for each patient each year and saving the patient unnecessary hospital visits and other medical expenses by focusing on early and preventative care to Excellerate their health.

Harbor Health is starting in Austin first, but Johnston wants to be able to grow across Texas and then the country.

"For me, I want to see the job done," he said. "I'm in it until we've gotten to the point where it's making a difference across the country."

Becoming a computer technician is a great point of entry into the IT field. In addition, computer hardware certifications can help demonstrate your knowledge and competency in maintaining computers, mobile devices, printers and more. Below, you’ll find our pick of six computer hardware certifications to help you get your IT career off the ground.

Although we cover our favorite hardware certifications here, the idea that hardware can operate independently of software (or vice versa) isn’t true. If you dig into the curriculum for any specific hardware-related certs in any depth, you’ll quickly realize that software is in control of hardware.

Software comes into play for installation, configuration, maintenance, troubleshooting and just about any other activity you can undertake with hardware. The hardware label simply indicates that devices are involved, not that hardware is all that’s involved.

Job board search results (in alphabetical order, by certification)

Differing factors, such as specific job role, locality and experience level, may impact salary potential. In general, hardware professionals can expect to earn somewhere in the mid-$60,000s. SimplyHired reports average earnings at $71,946 for IT technicians, with highs reported at almost $116,000. The average national salary for computer hardware technicians ranges from about $31,000 to more than $53,000. However, some certifications command higher salaries. Certification Magazine’s “Annual Salary Survey” (Salary Survey 2018) average salaries for CompTIA Server+ at $98,060 and the A+ credential at $97,730.

CompTIA A+

The CompTIA A+ certification is the granddaddy and best known of all hardware credentials. For anyone serious about working with PCs, laptops, mobile devices, printers or operating systems, the A+ should at least be on their radar, if not in their game plan.

Since the first A+ credential was awarded in March 1993, the program continues to draw active interest and participation. With more than 1 million IT professionals now possessing the A+ credential, it is something of a checkbox item for PC technicians and support professionals. It also appears in a great many job postings or advertisements.

A+ is also ISO 17024 compliant and accredited by ANSI. Thus, this credential must be renewed every three years in keeping with concomitant requirements for continuing education or regular examinations to maintain certification currency. Some 20 continuing education units (CEUs) are required for renewal.

Earning an A+ from CompTIA involves passing two exams: 220-901 and 220-902. test 220-901 focuses on hardware, networking, mobile devices, connectivity and troubleshooting. test 220-902 draws on knowledge of installing and configuring common operating systems (Windows, Linux, OS X, Android and iOS). It also covers issues related to cloud computing, security and operational procedures. Candidates will find a variety of question formats, including standard multiple-choice, drag-and-drop and performance-based questions on these exams.

Candidates who earn the A+ often find themselves in job roles that include technical support specialist, field service technician, IT support technician, IT support administrator or IT support specialist. The A+ is recognized by the U.S. Department of Defense (in DoD Directive 8140/8570.01-M). Also, technology companies, such as Ricoh, Nissan, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Dell, HP and Intel, require staff to earn the A+ certification to fill certain positions.

The A+ certification encompasses broad coverage of PC hardware and software, networking and security in its overall technical scope.

ACMT: Apple Certified Macintosh Technician

Given the popularity of Apple products and platforms, and widespread use of Macintosh computers in homes and businesses of all sizes, there’s demand galore for Mac-savvy technicians.

The AppleCare Mac Technician (ACMT) 2018 credential is Apple’s latest hardware-related ACMT certification. (The credential was formerly called the Apple Certified Macintosh Technician or Apple Certified Mac Technician.) Per Apple, the ACMT 2018 “qualifies a technician to repair all the Mac products that were covered by prior ACMT certifications, plus all other Mac products that were produced before April 2018.” Technicians with the ACMT certification who work at an Apple-authorized service facility are allowed to perform service and repairs.

The ACMT’s two required exams are the Apple Service Fundamentals and the ACMT 2018 Mac Service Certification. Service Fundamentals focuses on customer experience skills, ESD and safety, troubleshooting and deductive reasoning, and product knowledge. The Mac Service test covers troubleshooting and repair of Mac hardware (mainly Apple iMac and MacBook Pro systems). Note that the Apple Service Fundamentals test is also required for the Apple Certified iOS Technician (ACiT) 2018 certification.

The ACMT 2018 is a permanent credential and does not require annual recertification. However, as new products are added to the Apple portfolio, AppleCare will make associated courses available through Apple Technical Learning Administration System (ATLAS). You must complete these courses to service new products.

Interested candidates should also check out other BICSI certifications, such as the Installer 1 (INST1), Installer 2 Copper (INSTC) and Installer 2 Optical Fiber (INSTF).

An advanced credential, the Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) is so well respected that the Department of Defense Unified Facilities requires RCDD for all telecom-related design projects. The RCDD is geared toward experienced ICT practitioners with at least five years of ICT design experience. Alternatively, candidates who do not have the requisite experience but who possess at least two years of design experience plus three years of knowledge “equivalents” (combination of approved education, certifications or education), may also sit for the exam. All experience must have been within the preceding 10 years.

RCDD candidates should be able to create and prepare system design specifications and plans, as well as recommended best practices for security design requirements, for business automation systems. RCDDs are also well versed in data center, cabling systems and design for wireless, network, and electronic security systems.

To earn the credential, candidates must meet the experience requirements, submit the application plus credentialing fees, along with a current resume. In addition, candidates must submit four letters of reference two of which much be from current or former clients. One reference may be personal while the remaining references must come from the candidate’s employer.

Other advanced BICSI certifications include the  Outside Plant (OSP) Designer, Data Center Design Consultant (DCDC) and Registered Telecommunication Project Manager (RTPM).

CompTIA Server+

CompTIA also offers a server-related certification, which steps up from basic PC hardware, software, and networking courses to the more demanding, powerful, and expensive capabilities in the same vein usually associated with server systems.

The CompTIA Server+ credential goes beyond basic courses to include coverage of more advanced storage systems, IT environments, virtualization, and disaster recovery and business continuity topics. It also puts a strong emphasis on best practices and procedures for server problem diagnosis and troubleshooting. Although Server+ is vendor-neutral in coverage, organizations such as HP, Dell, Intel, Microsoft, Xerox, Lenovo and HP use Server+ credentialed technicians.

Those who work or want to work in server rooms or data centers, with and around servers on a regular basis, will find the Server+ credential worth studying for and earning. It can also be a steppingstone into vendor-specific server technician training programs at such companies as those mentioned above, or with their authorized resellers and support partners.

Note that the CompTIA Server+ test is still listed on that organization’s website as “good for life,” meaning it does not impose a renewal or continuing education requirement on its holders. The SK0-004 launched on July 31, 2015. Typically, exams are available for at least two years. If CompTIA’s revision history for Server+ is any guide to future updates and revisions, then it’s likely that we’ll see a new test making an appearance sometime before the end of 2019.

Fraud Management & Cybercrime , Healthcare , HIPAA/HITECH

A former physician pleaded guilty to criminal HIPAA violations in a case involving a compound pharmaceutical salesman and a conspiracy alleged to have racked up $2.5 million in healthcare fraud.

See Also: Building a Secure IoT Deployment Using 5G Wireless WAN

Former internist Frank Alario pleaded guilty in a New Jersey federal court to one count of conspiracy to wrongfully disclose and obtain individually identifiable health information, a misdemeanor. The admission is part of a plea deal that dismisses 11 other criminal charges returned by a grand jury in a September 2020 indictment.

The indictment, along with an updated narrative of events by prosecutors, portrays a nearly two-year effort by Alario and pharmaceutical salesmen Keith Ritson to funnel patients into prescriptions for compound pills fulfilled by Louisiana pharmacy Central Rexall Drugs.

The conspiracy was active from around August 2014 through February 2016. Ritson, the founder of Life Sciences Medical, allegedly received commissions from Central Rexall for each compound prescription he arranged. Compound medications are medications mixed by a pharmacist rather than an offsite manufacturing facility. Central Rexall CEO Hayley Taff pleaded guilty in 2020 to defrauding New Jersey health benefits programs and other insurers out of more than $50 million through a compounding pill scheme.

Alario's HIPAA violations occurred in the service of the scheme: The doctor would let the salesman into test rooms during consultations, giving patients the impression that Ritson was affiliated with the medical practice. Alario would instruct patients to see Ritson in another part of the practice so Ritson could fill out compound medication prescriptions ultimately authorized by Alario.

Ritson had access to the physician's patient schedule and would review medical charts and insurance coverage in advance to determine likely matches for a compound pill prescription.

Prosecutors say Alario sought to financially assist Ritson, who treated the doctor, his staff and his family to meals and drinks and acted as Alario's driver during long commutes to different medical offices. Ritson and Alario together caused an unnamed pharmacy benefits administrator to pay Central Rexall more than $2.5 million for medications.

Alario faces a maximum penalty of one year of federal prison time and a $50,000 fine. His sentencing is slated for Feb. 7, 2023.

Ritson is scheduled to go on trial in a New Jersey federal court on Nov. 7.

Attorneys representing Alario and Ritson did not immediately respond to Information Security Media Group's requests for comment.

HIPAA Prosecutions Are Rare

Criminal prosecutions for HIPAA violations "pop up every once in a while but remain relatively rare," says privacy attorney Adam Greene of law firm Davis Wright Tremaine.

"My impression is that the Department of Justice is not prioritizing the prosecution of impermissible access to or disclosure of health information unless a case is particularly egregious or HIPAA serves as a convenient criminal charge in a case involving alleged healthcare fraud," he says.

A textbook example of that could be a prosecution opened in late September against a former John Hopkins Medicine anesthesiologist and her spouse, a U.S. Army doctor, for violations of HIPAA that occurred as part of ostensible espionage for the Russian government (see: DOJ: Army Doc, Wife Sought to Leak Health Records to Russia).

Even if they're unusual, the occasional HIPAA case is a useful reminder that the health privacy law is criminally enforceable, says regulatory attorney Brad Rostolsky of law firm Reed Smith. Federal authorities "certainly take criminal action when appropriate," he says.

Following an eventful day in court Tuesday afternoon where multiple witnesses were called back to the stand and the defense requested a mistrial, the prosecution rested their case against Paul and Ruben Flores in connection with the murder of Kristin Smart.

Opening statements in the case began on July 18 in Salinas.

On Monday, forensic analyst Angela Butler testified about soil samples she received from San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Detective Clint Cole last year that were reportedly collected from underneath the deck of Ruben Flores’ Arroyo Grande home.

Butler says the presence of human blood was found on 13 of the samples she tested, but added that no DNA was able to be extracted and some samples did return with a negative result for human blood.

KSBY

She also detailed samples taken from a canvas mattress pad she says she received in November of 2019.

Butler says she was able to determine that a small brownish stain on the mattress pad was a DNA mixture.

On Tuesday morning, court began with an awkward back-and-forth between Paul’s defense attorney, Robert Sanger, and Butler over her knowledge of detecting the pH levels of liquids.

Sanger asked her if she knew the basis of how pH levels are calculated. Butler responded by saying the number of hydrogen ions in a collected trial determines its pH value.

KSBY

During her testimony, Butler explained that collected samples are handled by the software G-Mapper, which uses algorithms based on uncertainty to determine whether the DNA of individuals in her findings are to be included or excluded.

Sanger then displayed an allele table of her collected data to the courtroom where he questioned Butler on why there were samples that showed more allele findings than others.

He asked Butler if she had swabbed the mattress in a deliberate effort to avoid obtaining DNA findings from certain areas and not others.

Butler denied the allegation, saying that during her search of a specific stain that was found on the mattress, she wanted to isolate her findings to the one stain spot in particular and that she wasn't interested in examining any additional "touch DNA.”

Sanger then asked Butler to confirm that the DNA from both Paul and Kristin could neither be eliminated nor included in the trial findings on that mattress stain and that their DNA had been excluded from the other items she examined. Butler confirmed those findings to the court.

Butler's testimony continued into the afternoon, with Sanger asking her about the soil samples she analyzed from Ruben’s home on White Court.

Sanger asked if Butler had ever analyzed soil or residual of burial sites before. Butler replied that she had not.

She also testified that she had not been present for the collection of soil from Ruben’s home, but that she had been present for prior, unrelated cases that she analyzed soil from.

Sanger asked if the soil samples she analyzed contained any pieces of bone or cloth. Butler said no while adding that her report found "possible hair samples" that she sent to another lab for analysis.

Butler told the court that hair was not detected in the sample.

When Ruben’s attorney, Harold Mesick, began cross-examining Butler, he asked what tools had been used to analyze the soil samples.

She said she had used a stereo microscope and tweezers.

In her testimony, Butler mentioned that DNA could not be identified in her analysis, prompting Mesick to ask whether she could confirm that her blood findings belonged to Ruben. Butler said she could not.

At the end of Mesick’s cross-examination, he inferred that Butler could not draw conclusions from her findings.

Peuvrelle then took over, asking Butler if she had ever worked with Elizabeth Johnson. Butler replied that she had worked on a few defense cases with her.

At the end of Butler’s testimony, Sanger asked the forensic analyst about the publicity of the Kristin Smart case at the time she performed her analysis of the soil samples.

Butler replied saying that there had been discussions about the case in her lab during her analysis.

The next person called to the stand Tuesday by the prosecution was forensic specialist Shelby Liddell.

During Liddell’s brief testimony, Peuvrelle showed her a picture of a cargo trailer at Ruben’s property, as well as bedding from a home in San Pedro where Paul was living at the time of his arrest.

San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Nadal then returned to the stand. Peuvrelle asked him about the search warrant he served at Paul’s home.

Nadal described a sunroom in the residence that he searched, testifying that he submitted a Dell computer that was on the desk into evidence.

Next up was Sheriff’s detective JT Camp, who has been called to the stand multiple times during the trial.

Peuvrelle showed him various DMV documents for a blue-green Ford Ranger, as well as a white Nissan pickup.

He then asked Camp to confirm that the documents showed a transfer of ownership of the white Nissan pickup from Ruben Flores to Paul Flores. Camp provided confirmation.

During Sanger's cross-examination of Camp, he showed Camp an image of the pickup and asked if he had heard that the vehicle was reported stolen by Paul Flores. Camp said he had.

Sanger also asked Camp if he had collaborated with Peuvrelle to discuss strategies in the case.

Peuvrelle objected and the competing counsels as well as Monterey County Superior Court Judge Jennifer O’Keefe met privately for a discussion before Camp could answer.

It was decided to end Camp's testimony briefly and to instead bring in detective Clint Cole, with the intention of bringing Camp back to the stand.

When questioned by Peuvrelle, Cole explained that the white truck was a two-wheel drive truck, something Camp had been unable to answer.

Peuvrelle then asked Cole if he was present in the courtroom with Jennifer Hudson when she testified and described the truck as a four-wheel drive, prompting a big objection from Sanger and another brief recess.

In a statement of frustration from Sanger, he accused Peuvrelle of misconduct and called for a mistrial for asking leading questions, saying that Peuvrelle "knows better" and that the truck Hudson saw was a separate vehicle.

Sanger said that Peuvrelle acted inappropriately, but Judge O’Keefe dismissed the objection.

When Camp returned to the stand, Peuvrelle asked him about a search warrant he served with Cole in May of last year.

Camp testified that the search was intended to obtain buccal DNA swab samples from Ruben. Camp said the meeting was pre-arranged with Ruben’s attorney.

Camp went on to explain that while Ruben was practicing the warrant authorization documents from the investigators, he stated that Susan Flores and Mike McConville had committed no felonies, "only me."

Camp testified that Ruben then corrected himself and said he was the only one that had been arrested.

Peuvrelle then played an audio recording of Cole and Camp serving the warrant at Ruben’s home where both could be heard speaking with the now defendant.

"They haven’t committed no felonies, only me… I mean, I am the only one that has been arrested," Ruben can be heard saying in the recording.

The next person to testify was Christopher Fitzpatrick, a computer forensics specialist with the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office.

Peuvrelle showed him pictures of the Dell desktop computer taken from Paul’s home.

Fitzpatrick testified that he had been assigned to retrieve information from the device and said that he had found previous W2 and tax forms on the computer along with images of the Flores family.

At the end of the day, while arguing that there was no evidence linking his client to Kristin’s murder, Mesick told the court: for all we know, Kristin could be in Dubai or the Middle East. There is no evidence that she’s dead. Mesick apologized to the Smart family before making the statement.

Both Mesick and Sanger argued for the judge to declare a mistrial based on local of evidence and speculation. The judge ruled to move forward with the trial.

Before resting the peoples’ case, Peuvrelle walked through different elements of evidence, going back to the beginning of the trial.

The defense will begin presenting its case on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.
