Privacy and Security – What Questions You Should Ask Your Vendor

Friday! HRSA HIT& Quality Webinar “”Privacy and Security – What Questions You Should Ask Your Vendor”, Fri. Aug.19, 12pm – 1:30pm MDT

When implementing a Health IT system, it is vital for healthcare providers to know which questions to ask vendors. Health IT security and privacy issues are complex and critical for providers, and one system breach or unauthorized access to patient data can adversely affect a healthcare provider’s practice, violate a patient’s trust in the provider, and leave the provider liable to investigations by State and Federal regulators.

Today’s presenters have first-hand experience working with safety net providers on health IT privacy and security issues. They will share how they integrated this important process and how other healthcare providers can protect themselves and their patients from unauthorized data breaches. Presenters are:

· Laura Rosas, Esq, Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT

· Richard Sanders, Esq, General Counsel, Georgia Primary Care Association

· Holly Schlenvogt, MSH, CPM, Health Information Technology Specialist, Wisconsin Health Information Technology Extension Center
