HIPAA Compliance Demands Information Risk Management Maturity
Featuring a Case Study with Sentara Healthcare

  • Event Date:
  • Event Time: Noon Central

Health care information security is the next Cybersecurity Battleground. Even with the dramatic increase in the number and severity of compromises of protected health information (PHI), health care organizations put patient health, payment card and other information at risk every day as they struggle to formalize their information risk management programs. Health care professionals practice clinical risk management every moment of every day, but information risk management programs are less formal and not yet mature.

“First, Do No Harm” may have once applied to the clinical delivery of care; it now applies to the handling of personal, intimate information that comprises PHI as well as numerous other personally identifiable and financial data. A significant enabler of transformation and innovation in health care is the adoption of information technology and ePHI. Driven by factors such as The HITECH Act stimulus money and performance-based reimbursements, more information is being stored and transmitted electronically. However, this brings growing risks to senior executives and their organizations.

Attend this webinar to hear firsthand how a large health care system tackled this issue, and went beyond basic compliance checklists to work with Clearwater Compliance to establish, implement and mature a robust information risk management program that is affordable and scalable and that enabled Sentara Healthcare to reduce compliance costs and become self-sufficient.
