As part of their Signature Learning Series, The American Hospital Association (AHA) recently featured a presentation from Mahaska Health Partnership, “Secure PHI and Ensure Clinician Productivity Using Lean.”
Through the use of Lean practices, the team at Mahaska Health Partnership, a 25-bed critical access hospital, applied Lean time savings study practices to determine the true impact that securing PHI would have on clinician productivity—in terms of real minutes translated into cost.
Full disclosure: I'm just a medium-sized hospital's IT security guy. I've had Imprivata'sESSO appliance (three of them actually, a pair of HA, and a test box) up and running, happily, for about three years. I was invited by Imprivata and Ping Identity to participate in a panel discussion at the SSO Summit held in Keystone, CO, on July 23-25 (http://www.ssosummit.com/).
Andre Durand (Ping Identity) and friends put on a very nice event. There was a good blend of topics, from SSO-centric details, to Federation issues, and a mixture of interesting case studies to visionary presenters like John Haggard (independent security consultant and long-time IT mentor) and Gunnar Peterson (Arctec Group). The event was solid throughout, but to hear John and Gunnar speak about the important issues of the past and future of SSO and IT/Web security, made the event a powerful experience not to be missed.

Here are few things worth highlighting from the conference...
As we turn the page to 2010 and look to delve into the top–level security concerns that lie ahead, we’d be remiss not to reflect on those security events that helped shape 2009 into the ‘year of the data breach,’ and take these as learning experiences for the New Year.
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.

One of the key takeaways from last week’s AHIMA Conference in Atlanta was the focus on mobility and instant communication in healthcare. CIOs and other IT professionals are thinking deeply about the movement of data, especially protected health information (PHI) and how to provide clinicians with the access to information they need, wherever and whenever they need it, while remaining compliant with security and industry regulations.
