Re: What HIPAA does and how the healthcare industry has been complying
What's really comical is while MFP vendors are touting the great features of their HIPAA complaint systems, walk through a typical sales office and I guarantee you'll be able to find a lease with a personal guarantee and a person's SS# left out somewhere on a desk.

The Immense Challenges of IT Management in Health Care
The health care sector has been under constant pressure to shore up its cybersecurity defenses in the past few years, as data breaches continue to plague the sector in the United States and abroad. At the same time, though, legislation has actively pushed medical firms to more aggressively adopt and deploy modern technologies and solutions, which has made management a very difficult prospect for many leaders in the field. In spite of the constant stream of news stories regarding major data...

Data Analytics Raises Health Care IT Security Concerns
Health care providers have been somewhat under the gun when it comes to the integrity, security and privacy of patient data for more than a decade now, while breaches have increased in prevalence and damage.

In 2009, the Health Information Technology for...

The High Cost of Noncompliance in Health Care
Health care IT security has been lackluster of late, to say the least, as countless breaches of patient data have taken place in a relatively short period of time with no signs of a changing tide rolling in soon. This is one of the many reasons why regulators and law enforcement officials have started to come down hard on hospitals and other medical firms that are not doing everything in their power to maintain compliance and protect information from the grasp of hackers and other threats.

The BYOD Side of Health Care IT Security
In the past several years, plenty of trends in corporate IT have taken shape and intensified, but perhaps none quite as impactful and challenging as enterprise mobility. Sure, the Internet of Things is beginning to scale up and challenge managers in the IT department, but it will take years for this trend to see the same types of gains in adoption as enterprise mobility and, specifically, BYOD, have seen of late. Lost or stolen devices, rogue IT, poor control over access, no governance and...
