Protecting Patient Health Information in Today's Roaming Environment

Making Protected Health Information (PHI) available to physicians and nurses – from anywhere – through new technologies such as mobile devices, desktop roaming and physician portals has led to a tremendous boost in productivity.  The quality of patient care has improved and clinician satisfaction has increased.  Yet many of these new technologies also introduce serious privacy concerns in an age where protecting PHI has never been taken more seriously, by patients and government regulators.  

In this webinar, Christopher Paidhrin, Security and Compliance Officer at Southwest Washington Medical Center and David Ting, founder and CTO at Imprivata, will compare notes on the security challenges that exist in today’s roaming environments and discuss ways to enforce patient privacy without disrupting clinician workflow.
