Lumension Webinar Focuses on How to Protect Medical Records, Ensure HIPAA Compliance and Improve Productivity

Scottsdale, Ariz. (PRWEB) April 14, 2009

With an increasing urgency to digitize medical records, organizations today face a set of new challenges to implement administrative, technical and physical security procedures to appropriately protect sensitive electronic health information. This confidential information must be readily accessible to doctors, insurance companies, other healthcare facilities and patients themselves, but with data accessible to multiple parties, it is also at great risk for loss or theft. Organizations also require practical solutions that directly address the requirements set forth by the HIPAA Security Rule while reducing unnecessary cost and administration burden.

In a webinar titled: How to Protect Medical Records, Ensure HIPAA Compliance and Improve Productivity, Lumension outlines how organizations can effectively protect medical records, improve productivity while simultaneously ensuring HIPAA compliance. The webinar, to be held on Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. PST, features Lumension Vice President of Market Strategy Paul Zimski and Rob Israel, CIO, John C. Lincoln Health Network.

The webinar takes an in-depth look at how the healthcare industry has evolved in security practices and provides a best practices guide to effectively address these challenges. By attending this webinar, attendees will learn how to:

•     Enable doctors and other healthcare workers to increase productivity without putting Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) at risk
•     Enforce removable device usage and data encryption policies
