Professional Services are not something that should only be considered during the initial implementation of Imprivata OneSign. As our customer base has grown through the years, we’ve seen their personnel come and go, departments change, infrastructure develop and new technology appear. What doesn’t change is the need to provide simple secure access even though regulations get more rigorous and security threats become greater.

And just in case it’s too busy to get close, you can also see it at the VMware, Teradici, Dell and VCE stands. Yes, it’s that cool. While you’re there, ask Michelle for some sonic rocks – I hear they’re kind of fun...

The Siemens show has been fantastic. What a great group of people, from Siemens and their customers, as well as all the other great Siemens partners that are participating. What are we hearing? Signing on to desktops and applications is extremely painful! Remembering all the different passwords, trying to type them in while a patient is waiting for you, the time it takes for the applications to load… We need to simplify access to EMR and hospital IT systems for our clinicians! For those that know Imprivata, and for those that have been introduced to us this week, the response has been consistent; We can simplify access saving clinicians 15 minutes per day and help drive EMR adoption.

The Meaningful Use Analysis presented at the recent HIT Policy Committee Meeting indicates that 2,246 Eligible Professionals and 100 Hospitals have attested successfully. That’s a good start to EHR Adoption; with Stage 2 potentially delayed for these earlier adopters it will be interesting to see how many more attest to Meaningful Use in 2011.

The discussions provoked a variety of opinions and thoughts on setting guidelines as part of Stage 2 Meaningful Use.

Question 1: Did auditing play a role in your decision to buy single sign-on, and has it helped with reporting on user access?
Answer: Yes it did. When we first mentioned that we would be getting a password program, users were nervous. They thought, “is this password program going to remember all of my passwords and keep it secure?” When we presented to Imprivata, they said no problem, it’s all taken care of. From end to end the passwords are encrypted. Imprivata takes care of both situations, and we don’t have to worry about it being exposed in any way.

As we all know, the CJIS policy is now final and mandates that all agencies must have enforced unique IDs strong passwords by September, 2010, and that all agencies must comply with the CJIS Advanced Authentication requirement by 2013. However, if your agency has performed a system upgrade after 2005, the 2013 deadline advances to the time of the upgrade. If your agency is audited and found not to be in compliance with the CJIS policy, it could face losing access to CJIS systems.

Last week, ecfirst's CEO, Ali Pabrai joined me for a live webinar that discussed a checklist for healthcare IT Security compliance. If you missed the webinar, you won't want to miss this -- we've gone ahead and transcribed our answers from the Q&A session.
Question 1: Where can I go to find out exactly which set of rules / regulations apply to my business? There are so many different ones which change often that it's difficult to stay current.
Answer: That is one of the areas that must be addressed in a comprehensive risk analysis activity. It’s critical to keep up with HITECH Act changes. The best source is the OCR site at www.hhs.gov. Also, it’s important to keep up with State regulations, especially CA, Massachusetts, etc.
