Although most healthcare organizations feel safe storing private and restricted data in web applications, security breaches are rising and leave organizations in a very vulnerable position. This webinar is meant to inform MSPs and other healthcare professionals of precautionary measures that can be taken to avoid privacy corruption.
On a similar note, The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) proposed a change to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule that would allow individuals to receive reports of who has electronically accessed their health information.
The Office for Civil Rights Director, Georgina Verdugo, states, “This proposed rule represents an important step in our continued efforts to promote accountability across the health care system, ensuring that providers properly safeguard private health information.”
After reading about these health events, a strong message seems to resonate; despite our growing technology, the privacy of our information is far from secure. And it seems that patients are becoming more and more aware of this.
Furthermore, one of the topics to be discussed in Healthcare IT News’ webinar is, “About the changing healthcare landscape and how it is increasing the security risks for your healthcare organization.” Clearly, not all “web applications” can provide adequate security for healthcare organizations, or keep up with the demand to tighten security.
IntelliSoft’s IntelliCVO program provides a secure storage system in its database that can hold your current and archived documents. And when it comes to inter-office security, IntelliApp and IntelliCred offer customizable user roles, allowing the administrator to determine the accessibility each individual has.
The security of records in the healthcare field is everyone’s business. Are you secure?
