LAS VEGAS, July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
WHO: | Nannette Sloan, Manager, Process Optimization for Healthcare, and Kash Hatton, Manager, Technical Architect Solutions for Healthcare at Ricoh Americas Corporation will present at ADHI's (Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity) 36th Annual Healthcare Documentation Integrity Conference. |
Nannette Sloan has 30 years' healthcare experience in acute, ambulatory, post-acute, home care and long-term care on both the client and EMR vendor side with an emphasis in regulatory and compliance. She has spent the last seven years focusing on all aspects of EMR application government certifications. | |
Kash Hatton has more than 20 years of experience designing, developing and managing technology as well as ensuring compliance with multiple regulations including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Compliance (GLBA). His areas of expertise include IT security and compliance, document imaging, managing, capturing, and transforming data, and software design.
| |
WHAT: | Data and document security are key concerns for any healthcare organization in today's new world of work where the need for information mobility is growing exponentially.
|
Consider this: In 2010, CBS News purchased a copier formerly leased by a not-for-profit managed health care plan only to discover private medical information for more than 335,000 patients still stored on the hard drive. Under a settlement with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the plan paid over $1.2 million in damages for violating HIPAA privacy and security rules. | |
Nannette Sloan and Kash Hatton will detail how attendees can help protect printed and electronic protected health information against internal and external opportunistic or targeted threats, as well as learn tips for helping their company understand HIPAA and HITECH rules and regulations as they relate to their MFPs. They'll also outline common security concerns to consider and discuss how attendees can take steps to protect MFPs from physical as well as infrastructure security issues, especially as information is shared more quickly and easily in today's more mobile work environment.
