from the Publisher Dallas/Fort Worth H Dale Lane PUBLISHER Dallas/Fort Worth DLANE@MDNEWS.COM (210) 859-1233 Publisher: Dale Lane Managing Editor: Maggie Neff HELLO, AND WELCOME to the October/November issue of MD News Dallas/Fort Worth. In our cover feature, we explore the advanced cardiac care delivered at the Center for Complex Arrhythmias at Baylor Jack and Jane Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hos- pital. The center's approach to patients focuses on three areas: comprehensive diagnostics, advanced treatments and therapies, and education. With a team of a physi- cian assistant, six electrophysiologists and two surgeons on the Baylor Hamilton medical staff with specialized training in surgical approaches to arrhythmias, the center works with patients to achieve the best possible outcomes for complex arrhythmia cases. Read ahead to learn more about the center. Also in this issue, Brown McCarroll presents a guide to preparing for potential Office of Civil Rights audits under HIPAA/HITECH. We also hear from experts at Amegy Bank about purchasing and selling a medical practice. As the landscape of the American health system rapidly changes, so, too, are the operations and technologies that guide the practice of medicine. In this and all issues of MD News, we strive to provide con- tent pertaining to these and other matters that impact you most. Feel free to contact me to learn how you can contribute to the conversation.
