Health Data Innovations Announces HITRUST CSF Certification
BEACHWOOD, OH and CRANBURY, NJ (PRWEB) September 14, 2017 -- Health Data Innovations (HDI) and BluePrint Healthcare IT announce that HDI’s data processing environment (including its ETL tool, SFTP services, and SAS data processor) has earned Certified status for enhanced security and compliance by HITRUST (Health Information Trust Alliance). With the HITRUST CSF Certified Status, HDI proves that the systems and tools it uses for data acquisition, management, and transformation meet key healthcare regulations and requirements for protecting and securing sensitive private healthcare information.
As a firm specializing in the acquisition, cleansing, standardization, and integration of all types of health data, HDI views HITRUST CSF Certification as demonstrable evidence of their commitment to rigorous data security policies and practices.
Together with HITRUST Authorized CSF Assessor BluePrint Healthcare IT, the HDI team spent almost a year performing an exhaustive analysis of existing security and privacy measures and strengthening policies and procedures as needed.
HDI provides data management services to health plans and other payers, health systems and accountable care organizations, consulting and data analytics firms, and other organizations that require data from external sources to drive their operations. Data privacy and security are mission critical, and proving compliance with each client’s security requirements was an ongoing challenge for a lean organization.
“HITRUST CSF certification reinforces for our clients that we meet the industry’s highest and most robust data security, privacy and compliance requirements,” said Jonathan Kaye, Founder and President. “As the health care industry embraces HITRUST, it will allow us to more efficiently respond to our clients’ data security assessments by simply providing evidence of our certification.”
With cyber threats and organized targeting of healthcare data on the rise, the HITRUST CSF has become the “gold standard” for measuring and certifying security management programs. Created by healthcare, technology, information security, privacy and compliance leaders, the CSF combines requirements from both existing federal and third-party standards and regulations.
“We’re very proud of HDI’s accomplishment, as well as of our partnership to guide them through their HITRUST CSF Certification journey. As a data management firm on the cutting edge of big data, HDI plays a pivotal role in helping the healthcare ecosystem function in the new era of population health and value-based care. Achieving HITRUST is evidence of their dedication and commitment to superior security,” added Vikas Khosla, President and CEO, BluePrint Healthcare IT.
The two-year certification requires continued monitoring of privacy controls, no reportable data security breaches and timely completion of interim reviews.
