Abstract:
Our topic this month will focus on IT Security.

We will hear a practical perspective on Information Security under Meaningful Use as McMillan and Podesta take a case study approach of a Virus attack to amplify the trends, issues, and challenges associated with data breach and safe harbor under HITECH.
We will also learn about the Task Force, which was established to bring together a group of industry thought leaders to support HIMSS’s formal response to new legislation and regulation, as well as to develop HIMSS policy position papers and tools that relate to healthcare privacy and security. Attendees will be brought current with the efforts underway at HIMSS nationally in the areas of privacy and security and have the opportunity to give their feedback to inform the national agenda.
