Ed Ricks, the VP Information Services & CIO at Beaufort Memorial Hospital (an Imprivata customer), has started blogging for Computerworld on healthcare IT issues.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published its Introductory Resource Guide for Implementing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule back in late 2008, but spurred by a jolt of healthcare IT investment driven by HITECH mandates has renewed relevance today. From a user access perspective, there are important technical safeguards outlined in the area of Access Control, Audit Control, Integrity, and Person or Entity Authentication that are worth calling out. Specific Key Activities within these technical safeguards criteria you should review include...
Last week at the HIMSS15 Conference in Chicago, Surescripts sponsored a panel discussion titled Advancing Care with Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS). The group discussed the relatively slow adoption of EPCS among care providers, despite the fact that electronic prescribing of non-controlled substances has been swiftly embraced by prescribers and pharmacists. According to Santosh Kalkar, today in the U.S. about five percent of providers and 71 percent of pharmacies are enabled with EPCS.

The threat of hackers stealing private information and holding it for ransom is real, and the healthcare industry has become a prime target – in fact, phishing as emerged as the top security threat facing healthcare organizations. Criminals employ a variety of highly-targeted methods to breach data security. That means, as a provider, you must protect your patients’ private information by using equally dynamic security solutions.
Leading into National Cyber Security Awareness Month, last week Imprivata had the opportunity to contribute to the healthcare IT cybersecurity discussion on Capitol Hill as part of National Health IT (NHIT) Week.
Recent survey results released show only 50.7% of U.S. hospitals with implemented electronic medical records (EMRs). While transitioning to a paperless system seems to be a logical evolution in the health care system, the rather slow rate of EMR adoption does not surprise me. Even with the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) in February 2009 which attached a monetary incentive to implementation, technologies that do not seamlessly fit into clinicians’ day-to-day activities, improve patient care, and enable them to work more efficiently fail to achieve widespread acceptance. In order to improve EMR adoption rates in the U.S., we must provide doctors with tools that do not disrupt time spent with the patients, while enhancing their ability to access vital information quickly and efficiently.
From breaches to phishing scams, cyber-attacks targeting patient and payer data are getting more sophisticated by the day.
It was February 2012 at HIMSS in Las Vegas when I first got a glimpse into the future of End User Computing. Little did I know that it would dominate much of my career over the next five years at Imprivata, and in particular within the healthcare industry.
