HIPAA Security for Medical Equipment Improvement Technologies, LLC offers a HIPAA Security for Medical Equipment workshop. A compromise in information security for medical equipment can have serious effects on patient care. Contaminated / altered or delayed data may even be life threatening. A serious breach will almost certainly be widely reported in regional, if not national media. Both the HIPAA Security Rules and JCAHO standards establish minimum expectations for assuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic data. This workshop discusses the issues, recent publications and the processes required to reduce risk and achieve regulatory compliance. Emanuel Furst, Ph.D, CCE, President of Improvement Technologies, LLC consults on medical equipment acquisition and management, on clinical engineering, and made a presentation on HIPAA Security to CMIA -- California Medical Instrumentation Association - in Sacramento, and on JCAHO medical equipment management at AAMI in 2005.
