Patient data is vulnerable to internal and external threats ranging from malicious breaches to simple problems like lost/stolen laptops. In addition, HIPAA regulations continue to evolve, and have even been expanded with the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. Business associates must now be notified of their responsibilities and face civil and criminal penalties for violations. There are also new rules covering accounting of disclosures to other parties, including healthcare providers and payers. Because of the complexity of these rules, the severity of penalties and the effects of breaches on innocent patients, many organizations look to service providers who specialize in HIPAA- and healthcare-related security services.
Any organization that collects, sends, receives or stores protected health information (PHI) needs to take a layered approach to security. Network hardware, software and policies protect patient data from internal and external security breaches. Stored data can be encrypted, but so can e-mails, preventing the disclosure of sensitive information if an e-mail is intercepted or misdirected. Mobile devices must also be protected, which can include passwords, encryption and other endpoint security solutions. Reporting and auditing tools are also important for meeting the HITECH disclosure requirements.
