LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Healthcare organizations have recently been forced to reexamine HIPAA and HITECH mandates as a result of the growing risk of data breaches, increased audits and the enforcement of higher penalties for non-compliant companies. In an effort to achieve patient confidentiality, today’s hospitals and healthcare organizations must identify and establish a security framework that ensures complete protection of each patient’s most private medical information, most frequently housed within electronic medical records (EMR).
Imprivata, the #1 independent technology authentication and access management provider for healthcare and other regulated industries, will be hosting a webinar on February 3, 2011 examining how to apply ISO 27000, NIST & PCI DSS v2 to address HIPAA & HITECH mandates.
Compliance and cyber security expert, Ali Pabrai, CEO of ecfirst, a company that specializes in delivering IT services to the healthcare, government and financial industries, will walk participants through the checklist on how companies should correctly address HIPAA and HITECH mandates while leveraging international standards. He will also cover:
- The ISO 27000 global information security standard and its application to compliance mandates in the area of HITECH meaningful use risk analysis and breach management.
- The NIST standards to address contingency planning and state requirements for personal data.
- How to leverage PCI DSS v2 to address requirements for identity management and audit control.
- A checklist to establish the foundation for a comprehensive information security program.
