Is Your Hospital Infrastructure Secure?

1:00 - 2:00 pm (EDT); 12:00 - 1:00 pm (CST) - FREE Educational Audio cast

Three factors are raising the critical need for hospitals and health systems to establish a resilient technology infrastructure:

1.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) have taken several steps to ensure HIPAA Security Compliance will be taken seriously in 2008. Several hospitals and health systems are expected to be audited in 2008
2. Organizations are in some stage of implementing capabilities to support a 100% electronic personal health records
3.  Highly publicized, coast-to-coast, data security breaches of tens of thousands of patient records

Are you ready for a CMS Audit? Is your information technology infrastructure resilient? Have you recently completed a comprehensive and thorough assessment of your computing environment to determine the weak links that may be vulnerable to attacks? Have you deployed robust (to prevent passive threats) and roving (to prevent active threats) security capabilities?

 What you will learn:

-Discuss how and why  the enforcement environment is changing, what can be done to help avoid an audit and what to expect if you are targeted by CMS for a security investigation

-Identify documents that would be reviewed and individuals who may be interviewed by CMS for a HIPAA audit

-Review vital security controls to support initiatives for electronic personal health records
-Step through critical steps to achieve 100% compliance with key regulations such as HIPAA and PCI DSS
-Determine how to conduct an effective risk assessment to determine high risk areas that are vulnerable to attacks
-Examine emerging best practices in healthcare security – minimal capabilities to secure the infrastructure
