Medical Records on the Run: Protecting Patient Data with Device Control and Encryption

In an increasingly online health care environment where medical records are shared among doctors, insurance companies, health care facilities, federal/state/local government entities and others, the risk of improper EPHI disclosure is at an all time high. Technology advances, such as USB devices, have facilitated the movement of patient data beyond the four walls of the healthcare organization and also can introduce malicious threats into the network. Add in HIPAA Security Rule requirements and health care organizations are presented with the unique challenge of balancing worker productivity with the risk of data loss.

In this webinar, we’ll examine:

• The current threat and regulatory environment for health care organizations, especially as it pertains to removable devices
• Proven methods to ensure business enablement without risking improper EPHI disclosure, using device control and data encryption technologies
• A real life example of how device control and encryption capabilities have been implemented at University Health Care System
