During HIMSS 2016, I had the opportunity to talk to one of the true leaders in healthcare technology, Craig Richardville, Carolinas HealthCare Systems’ Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer who was recently named CIO of the Year by CHIME and HIMSS. Craig discuses a range of topics including interoperability and security challenges in healthcare, the government’s patient identification efforts, and Carolinas Healthcare Systems’ use of the palm vein biometric patient identity platform, Imprivata PatientSecure.

To help streamline workflows for healthcare organizations who use Epic Community Connect, Imprivata developed Imprivata for Community Connect (ICC), making the process of authenticating into the EHR platform easier and more secure for clinicians while also remaining DEA compliant for electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS).
Security concerns continue to grow for healthcare organizations as systems integrate new technologies and as electronic patient health information (PHI) proliferates all aspects of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). However, increased security measures can quickly turn in to clinical roadblocks as providers spend more time interacting with security barriers and less time face-to-face with patients.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced new rules surrounding health information privacy and data security that is important for everyone involved in healthcare IT (HIT) to understand.
By now, you’ve likely seen these rules, however the Healthcare IT Consultant blog has a nice synopsis of the news that drills down into the aspects most relevant for those in the Imprivata community. Pulling the key points from that blog and summarizing the primary requirements of the rules, here are some things to consider...
