As healthcare moves to a wider and deeper electronically connected model, new state and federal personal privacy laws combined with updates to HIPAA are making the regulatory environment more complex than ever. Join this eSeminar to hear how Seattle Children’s Hospital views safeguarding Protected Health Information (PHI) of its patients and the cutting-edge pediatric research information stored on user endpoints as essential to both its business and healthcare mission.
Topics include:
• Healthcare organizations must now rethink data security and quality of care, especially as it relates to compliance
• The loss of patient data can have severe impacts on a healthcare organization
• How to avoid the high costs of a data breach, which can include damage to a hospital’s reputation, hundreds of dollars per patient record lost, and possible criminal prosecution
• An enterprise approach to endpoint data protection
Our featured speaker, Wes Wright, the VP and Chief Technology Officer, Seattle Children’s Hospital, will discuss the delicate balance between enjoying the productivity benefits of a mobile computing environment and mitigating the risks associated with it.
