Healthcare
For the healthcare industry, technology advancements can be a double-edged sword. Patients benefit from greater access to physicians and portable medical records that can improve the overall quality of care and efficiency of delivering treatments. At the same time, protected health information (PHI) contained in electronic medical records (EMRs) and Health Information Exchanges (HIE) that occur throughout the provider-payer continuum possess inherent security, manageability and compliance vulnerabilities that expose providers to audit and consumer privacy risks.
Consider new compliance drivers such as the 2009 HITECH Act, which extends HIPAA regulations to include mandatory data breach notifications, heightened enforcement, increased penalties and expanded patient rights. As a result, healthcare providers, payers and business partners that have access to PHI must invest in more reliable technology and processes to protect data beyond the computer terminal to include vulnerabilities in sensitive applications, databases and systems.
